How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

I remember the earlier days of the internet, when the men were men, the women were men, and the children were FBI agents.

    Some of the men were children. I was 12 when I first learned I could just click "yes" when the internet asked "are you 18+" I was one day older when I learned what browser history was. Then began a 4 year game of cat and mouse between my father and I. He'd try to catch me looking at porn and I'd try to figure out how he caught me.
