Absolutely! Are they bots or humans?

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.

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

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.

Absolutely!!! wowed i just highlighted that yesterday
