Surprised how many people don’t realize this is satire

The bar is too low, hard to tell now

Poe's law is in full force in this age of "AI".

Yeah, it's hard for us fluent in sarcasm to actually understand those that struggle with it - like wdym you can't tell? Even the sentences are set up as a joke.

I've learned to add "/s" at the end but it icks me every time.

Poe's law. People aren't dumb, they just know that there are dumb people out there

We live in a post-truth era, with confidently-incorrect people all around. Too many people without a care for reason, facts, and how reality works have ideas that are able to gain traction in public.

Look at anti-vaxxers. Look at flat-earthers. Look at Trump winning a second time.

Although I pegged this post as sarcasm at the start (the guy’s job title gives it away), I’ve heard equally ridiculous statements from real people before. Sadly, I can’t fault people for assuming honest stupidity if that’s what they’re accustomed to encountering.

you severely underestimate how many people say the stupidest shit and mean it completely sincerely lmao

If I had read his titles under the name I would have gotten it, but I've seen way to many Ai bros on linked in posting dumb shit like this and being serious.
