This post is written by an LLM, and possibly a complete fabrication.

People don't need LLMs to lie, and someone in the comments tells a similar experience. You can also find plenty of similar anecdotes using a search engine of your choice.

You can even find many articles from specialized lawyers if you search in German: https://www.prinz.law/bewertungen/klage-zugestellt-wegen-neg...

Yeah, I agree about the LLM part.

But can confirm from personal experience that businesses threaten to sue based on Google Maps reviews.

Let them sue then. Unless you lie in your review ("There was a used condom in my burger, 1 star"), nothing will happen.

"I trust the law and the justice system" is a great way to get a hands-on schooling on why people spend a lot of money on lawyers.

This is why you get good insurance for legal help. If some company does this too you, you can defend without spending a lot on lawyers.

Please don't use fabricated anecdotes in replacement for your own anecdotes. That doesn't make your argument more trustworthy but doesthe opposite.

If we’re talking about credibility, unfounded accusations of lying tend to harm the credibility of the accuser more than the accused.

A lot of people use LLMs to clean up their sloppy text. Not realizing how fake it makes them sound. non-native speakers lacking confidence in their English are a type of llm abuser. It doesn't necessarily make the content fake.
