Im pretty indifferent to them and I'm still mad AI ruined them.

This reads like Haiku
It could be a haiku. They don't need to be 5-75 syllables. It's more about an observation or a moment of clarity/realisation. The first two lines set up a concept or image, and the third line closes out the thought, usually with contrast. Just have to structure it properly.

Cunts.
You have been reading much longer haikus than I have 😜
That's how you know that comment isn't ai. No dash.

I once tried to write a haiku,
Whose syllables were out of skew.
The words started flowing;
I just kept on going,
A Limerick will just have to do.
Oh, that reminds me: is Haiku still a slop-free OS?
Slop and driver free
Yeah, they're based
Haiku’s are easy
But sometimes they don’t make sense

Turns out AI learned from humans, who learn from the writings they're exposed to
It's an endless cycle, and we're only in the first revolution
And one solution would be to just turn off all grammar and spell check and let people’s fat fingers and inability to spell let them stand out as the human. Oh boy.
I did that over a year ago. It was always misinterpreting what I was trying to say and fucking it up, so this is honestly way better.
Ya except the internet called everyone grammar nazis for caring.
On the plus side, drunk people would have a MUCH harder time starting arguments..
So, I’m guessing you don’t meet too many drunk people…
Ypu think I cant spell drunk amd anget huh bitcj!?
Quite the opposite, but I know they can’t type for shit. If they can’t type a coherent message, it’s easy to ignore.

LLMs are really good at language, it's their whole thing. If you tell them to make spelling errors, they'll do it just as easily as they can copy the tone and cadence of MLK or Trump speeches
Also, please no, I'm so bad at spelling
