How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

There are no humans on the internet

I remember the earlier days of the internet, when the men were men, the women were men, and the children were FBI agents.
