No, probably just a really passionate human determined to tell people where that alleged "lightweight" claim comes from. Don't underestimate how persistent nerds can be when they think they're right.
Yeah, possibly. One might ask what the difference between such person and a bot is..
The same as the difference between my rambles and AI slop: One is natural, the other artificial. One is organic, the other mechanic. One is passionate, the other soulless.
True, true. The one-dimensional layer of text forums covers up the means to differentiate.
