The evolution of AI-generated text becoming more "human-like" is why I wonder whether "donald bathe"/"larryjohnson"/"michaelmartino" (or whatever the names were) is a bot or a real individual. The repeated vacuous questions were merely a tip-off.

Whether a real person or not, the real purpose is likely some kind of test as to whether the site is moderated well and to collect data for phishing and/or spamming.

All the more reason not to engage trolls and just report 'em so we can zap 'em!

True, from what I can tell though from the "reply" things like this ^ I was just amazed how patient ppl here were in answering their (very) persistant questions.

On another note kinda waiting on Alpaman do come back and tell us more about why he thinks Simpsons brushes are not worth it...
