    Recently I've discovered many comments and discussions starting with the word "Absolutely". Wondering if those are real people or just bots.

    It's difficult to determine based on just one word. I need to see the entire post to draw a conclusion. But bots on PH are quite common.

    @elenat agree, I use absolutely a lot and I’m not a bot. At least I don’t think I am. Generally I determine AI responses if they don’t seem authentic, they are more educational responses without personality

    I wonder if it's bots or just lazy folks using chatgpt to write comments...I can see someone fine-tuning a GPT on a couple of these discussion forums and the bot coming to the conclusion that "absolutely!" is the way to start haha

    @slimmy82 so scary that soon I won't be able to know if you're joking or are just a bot joking. Brave New World, I guess!

    Dear, Starting comments with "Absolutely" is a common human expression. However, it's possible that some could be generated by bots or automated systems.

    I'm definitely guilty of using "absolutely" when I start a comment if I agree with a post/discussion/comment. I would like to caveat that I use this as a response often in person too so I tend to write how I speak if it's not for formal writing n😂

    Anshul, it's pretty intriguing how certain words become trendy, even in comment sections—whether it's the work of bots or just a human habit, it definitely sparks curiosity. I guess we're all a bit programmed in our responses, aren't we?

    Anshul, it's quite the conundrum, isn't it? It seems 'Absolutely' has become the go-to affirmation, but I'd wager most are genuine people echoing a popular sentiment!

    Absolutely, Anshul, it's a curious pattern indeed! It seems like a common affirmation that both enthusiastic humans and programmed bots have adopted.

    That's a really interesting question. I've never doubted it before! Maybe people end up using the same words unconsciously because they see similar comments from others? I should also pay close attention to the comments sometime.
