In theory, the robots (by which I mean generative AI) talk just like us, given that their large language models (LLMs) have been trained on billions upon billions of statements you and I have made online. That Hacker News thread in which you waxed rhapsodic about JUST HOW WRONG someone is about Flash on the internet? It's now training data for someone's LLM-augmented doctoral dissertation. The LLMs have "learned" from all this online chatter to generate text that sounds like a human being.
