    This is old, like about a decade old. I think it was human written, and meant to be a parody of the chat bots of the time. Notice the use of the word “bot” rather than “AI” which would be used now.

    Ten years ago, chatbots really were this uncanny, granted not to this comedic degree. Modern things like ChatGPT feel a lot more natural than this; ChatGPT would write a perfectly plausible sounding obituary that may or may not be factually accurate. “Brenda is survived by a husband and three children.” Brenda is a widow with two children. That sort of thing.
