Well OP said that bots posting shit on social media alienates people from being part of modern society

If that's not a touch a grass moment then I don't know what is

When you can't trust the people online you interact with to be a real person or not, it's hard to interact within the internet.

Sure, you can find real human connections by "touching grass", but the internet shouldn't be a monotonous landscape solely for consumption and not interaction. It was not built for that, and shouldn't ever be.

Well the study we're commenting under calls out that press releases and job postings are also becoming increasingly LLM-written. You can't avoid those simply by touching grass.

Not sure what type of grass you touch, but I don't have it littered with job postings or press releases

People need to work to live, which requires looking at job postings. Shocking, I know
