Mark Robinson's claims of AI-generated slander show that the "deep doubt era" is upon us.

Don’t worry, everybody. It was just AI. What a relief! I almost thought this guy was a terrible person.

    Much of that slang is just old and none is made up by him. The consistency of application is something that should be noted though.

    I know “gag a maggot” is at least +30 years old from when I was a kid. It could be older. I also grew up in NC, so the slang could have even been regional.

      He’s only 56. We’re not talking about someone from Grampaw’s good old days here.

        I am in my 40’s, so it’s around the same era. All I am saying is that I have heard all of that slang before and it isn’t made up. (I even occasionally use “gag a maggot”, actually.)

          Maybe it’s a Southern thing. It all sounds old-timey to me.

              Well all I can tell you is that I’m 47, from Indiana, and I spend a lot of time listening to music from the 1930s and 1940s and I don’t say stuff like that.

                Yeah, so it’s probably regional. My family from your part of the world doesn’t use the colorful language I learned in NC. In many ways, it’s it’s more than just a dialect difference, it’s an entirely different language. Idioms are much more common, or at least, more colorful.

      Yeah, that alone isn’t strong proof. But it is certainly corroborating alongside using the same usernames and other stuff.
