Are you describing LLM's or social media users?

Dont conflate how the content was created with its quality. The "You must be at least this smart (tall) to publish (ride)" sign got torn down years ago. Speakers corner is now an (inter)national stage and it written so it must be true...

I really could only be talking about LLMs but social media is also low quality.

The quality (or lack of it) if such texts is self evident. If you are unable to discern that I can’t help you.

“The quality if such texts…”

Indeed. The humans have bested the machines again.

I think that’s a good example of a superficial problem in a quickly typed statement, easily ignored, vs the profound and deep problems with LLM texts - they are devoid of meaning and purpose.
Your comment was low quality noise while the one you replied to was on topic and useful. A short and useful comment with a typo is high quality content while a perfectly written LLM comment would be junk.
