It expresses at least one idea that people find morally reprehensible. It being honest is not a redeeming quality.

Additionally, looking through your comment history, I feel your comments are really written by a human, but they do have a very eerie similarity to comments written by GPT2 bots.

What part is morally reprehensible?

It's fascinating that you doubt whether people like me could actually exist.

I did not say your comment _is_ morally reprehensible, only that it’s widely and commonly believed to be morally reprehensible by many people. I decline to state my personal normative view about it.

That part is when you refer to having a new relationship partner as getting “a younger model.”

I do not have any trouble believing you exist and I believe people like you are reasonably widespread.

I only meant to indicate the cadence and style of your written comments has a great degree of similarity with the text generated by GPT2 bots.

It's fascinating but also quite scary that you would probably believe me if I told you I was a bot. It seems that those bots are so good now that if you read some human output with the idea that it might be a bot (because e.g. someone asked if it's "real") that you can't actually tell. That provides a whole new way for echo chambers to extinguish dissenting views.
