You know, I just realized something: some people sound •flat•. When I read their texts or DMs, they just feel •lifeless• to me.

Others sound unique (in my head when I read what they've written), but there are some people whose voice just doesn't come through to me.

When I was a kid, my father told me to write the way I think; if I did that (he said), I'd never find myself short for words. I took his advice to heart, as I usually did, and it has served me really well for more than half a century.

When friends read my writing, they always comment that they hear it •in my voice•. Now, they know me, so that's not really proving anything. But I've noticed that when I read what YOU write (in a general sense; I mean everyone on here) I mostly hear you as some sort of voice in my head. It's just that some of you—a definite minority—have no •character• somehow. It's like the voice goes away and it's just words on a screen.

I've noticed that's often the case with scammers and trolls. There's a curious sort of lifelessness to them. You know, I suspect that the same is probably true of AI! Although I haven't tested that theory yet.

Sorry, I guess I'm rambling. But has anyone else had that sort of experience online?

Or is it just me?
