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?

I get your concern, really. I would counter that some conversations with a good chatbot these days are more rewarding than those with your average redditor. It's like the placebo effect. For me, if I'm having a good time and getting value out of a platform, that matters more.

As a side note, do you have a platform that you feel has the least amount of bots? I just assume one is as bad as the next.
