AI has made me unnecessarily paranoid of this sub

I hate that AI have made me sceptical of everything that gets posted, especially in this sub. I know that it makes no difference whether or not the post is made by AI; as long as it sparks interesting discussions, then that's all that matters.

However, I can't help but feel like I need to disengage the moment AI gets involved. Every time I open a thread, I've instinctively been opening OP's profile to check post history. Not that I'm actually interested, but moreso to see if they have some sort of posting pattern.

I think it's because I'm emotionally invested in this sub, and as such, it's a defence mechanism to avoid having that being used. It's a me problem, but one I want to raise.

All this self-justification is to say: might be time for me to touch grass. Make some actual dad friends instead of using this sub as my outlet.
