> I'm fully with each and every tweet warning you "tweeting makes you a dickbag please reconsider"

I vaguely recall somewhere had a speech synthesiser read everyone's comments back at them before letting people post them.

Someone un-ironically complained it made them "sound stupid".

(I think it was YouTube? Not sure).

If this isn't real, I'd guess you're remembering the XKCD linked in a sibling comment to yours. I kinda like your version more. The XKCD version where the poster has an actual moment of introspective clarity doesn't make sense to my cynical mind.

If it is me misremembering fiction as fact, it wouldn't be the first time…

(Even if I do have a strong memory that this was in addition to the XKCD).
