Caught my own auto-reply voice after a group chat mixup

I spent a whole afternoon replying 'sounds good' and 'makes sense' to my DnD group while mentally planning dinner, then realized my texts were exactly what a bot would say. My friend called me out with 'you type like a FAQ page.' Has anyone else had that moment where your own message style suddenly looks robotic?

You type like a FAQ page" is honestly such a brutal but funny callout. I read this thing the other day about how our texting patterns get flattened by autocorrect and predictive text, so we all start sounding like the same polite customer service bot after a while. I noticed it when I caught myself sending "that works for me" to like four different people in one night, and I couldn't remember if I actually agreed with any of them. It's weird how the shortcuts we use to save time end up making us less human sounding.
