<p>This is assuming that an extreme majority of people use the tools this way.<p>Consider a much more cynical view where people are strictly self-interested and use these tools to garner engagement and self-promotion. Good chance the meaning did not originate from the person. And now these people have tools to outsource their parasitic intentions.</p>

General population cannot be trusted to use it in whatever idealistic way you are imagining.</p>

<p>Forums and comments are not written as formal novels or text. Corporate-speak is also not typically used in these environments unless you are representing corporate.<p>So I think it's fine to scrutinize commenters who write that way.<p>Besides, the biggest offense of AI speak is making everything seem like a grand epiphany and revolutionary discovery. Aka engagement bait.</p>

<p>I solved my longstanding mental issues with one. Even therapeutic minimal doses of xanax will not do that.<p>Maybe you are right, though. Both are probably equally bad.</p>

<p>There's some good irony in your reply and I think we're both laughing for different reasons. I have no intention in being combative, but it is you who interpreted my post in the worst possible way.<p>I was speaking from a neutral and stoic stance. Nowhere did I imply manipulation or attempting to control another person. I was only referring to your fixation on their reactions and feelings.</p>

<p>Notice that both your sentences are trying to control the other person's reaction and feelings towards you. If that is your idea of socializing, I would come to the same conclusion.<p>As cliche as it is, find things in others that genuinely interest you. And don't expect it be a fruitful experience. There are so many reasons the socializing ritual can end up being unfulfilling.</p>
