Looks to me like a new level of trolling.

I wish.

I watched a tech bro copy/paste my chat message to him into AI, screenshot the AI response, and thumbs up emoji’d it.

My man, if you don’t recognize this as VERY basic trolling, maybe you should stay off the internet for a while.

You’re giving too much credit to these people. They even use AI during in-person conversations to tell you their “thoughts”.
