I appreciated the texture of your message. It's really unfortunate that the bot plague is making us all suspicious of any well-written or idiosyncratic posts.

- johnnyanmac 9mo agobots know little about culture, especially Eastern culture. So I was immediately more trusting when the comment correctly (based on readings I've done on Japan for some years) talks about a concept that wouldn't pop up as much in western society. On the other hand, hallucinating term you look up and contradict in seconds is peak bot behavior.
- 578_Observer 9mo agoThank you. You hit the nail on the head. A bot can scrape the definition of "Shugyo" from a database. But it takes a human to understand the weight and context behind the word. I am relieved that my "Cultural Accent" served as the ultimate Captcha. I'm glad my words reached someone who truly understands the culture.
- 578_Observer 9mo ago"Texture" is a beautiful word. Thank you. AI generates text like smooth plastic. I want my words to be like rough stone—with friction and weight. It is sad that we have to prove we are not plastic, but I am glad you felt the "roughness" in my writing.
