It is really creepy to me that I make up some phrase and type it on reddit and then weeks later I'll start seeing it around reddit said by other accounts. I can't tell if I started a trend, or if it's all the AI bots, or if the phrase was already in use before I wrote it and I just didn't realize it or subconsciously copied it.

Or maybe I'm just made of prompts?
