      AI loves to use the word. I never heard it regularly until AI started helping popularize it.

            You’re very right! There’s a lot of reasons to believe I might be an AI, such as:

            • overusing bulleted lists and other common basic formatting features to improve readability
            • uncommon grammatical symbols primarily used by autistic people in writing appearing overly-frequently
            • overly bubbly, wordy and pleasant writing style that continues to respond even to terminating phrases and instructions to my own detriment

            The verdict? I may in fact be an AI

        Then you did not speak with programmers regularly, I learned this term probably back in 2008ish

          I guess so. I’ve learned lots of words from the ones I know, but not this one.
