    A colloquial term equivalent to “shooting oneself in the foot”

    AI loves to use the word. I never heard it regularly until AI started helping popularize it.

    You're very right! There's a lot of reasons to believe I might be an AI, such as:

    • overusing bulleted lists and other common basic formatting features to improve readability
    • uncommon grammatical symbols primarily used by autistic people in writing appearing overly-frequently
    • overly bubbly, wordy and pleasant writing style that continues to respond even to terminating phrases and instructions to my own detriment

    The verdict? I may in fact be an AI
