the entire internet taken over by bots since last two years. gen-z still part of human genome but no different than robots in conversational level.

My eternal gripe with conserva-dads. A major shift makes them aware of something that was already there, but they think it’s a new thing. My other eternal gripe is hating every generation but their own.
Both of these are side-effects of being badly unaware of their own perspective.
A lot of teens and some early twenty-somethings can be a bit conversationally shallow, due to not having fully developed social skills or lacking more than the most basic knowledge about some subjects… or because they find engaging in brainrot on purpose fun, for whatever reason. Not all of them do, and most of them grow out of it, eventually. It’s rather unfair, and at least a little dehumanizing, to equate them with NPCs or chatbots.
I suspect this goes a bit further than that. People with Main Character Energy™ often see conversations which hold no interest to them as superficial. Because if it doesn’t matter to them, then it’s an unimportant waste of time. Given the pop-cultural disconnect between the older and younger generations, as has always been thus, it can contribute to the whole “young people in particular are weird and shallow” attitude which people like this often have.
It sounds like overgeneralization and ageism. People are often impressed at how deep someone can be when they finally get to know them. There are many people that we don't know well easily, especially those who are in other circles or less noisy. Some of the most intelligent are quiet deep listeners. Humans also tend to learn a lot when their situation change. By this poster's sentence alone, someone could infer the same about psychip's conversational proficiency level. Some sites are also not the place to look for verbose papers or essays, by their design. And it's true that there are trolling campaigns with bots, again, with this post alone, someone not knowing "psychip" could jump to the conclusion that they may be one, conspiring to increase intergenerational tensions and it could be misrepresentation and a hasty conclusion.
Confused?
