If the output was wrong and he blindly trusted it, then none of the people reviewing it noticed anything, then they should all have been fired.

Sounds more like he had it generate the text, he checked that it was correct, then other people checked it and also couldn’t find any issues with it.

Autocorrect also ducks up sometimes, that doesn’t mean you should be fired for using it, unless you’re too dumb or lazy to proofread it yourself and correct mistakes.

Does being a software engineer who’s also a furry count? Or does it work better the other way around perhaps

The core idea of Poe’s Law is that a parody of something extreme can be mistaken for the real thing, and if a real thing sounds extreme enough, it can be mistaken for a parody

What you wrote was a joke, but someone trying to be edgy could also write the same thing, or someone with a poorly thought out view of the world/justice could also write it, the issue is not with the readers but with the writer when the message is ambiguous, you cannot blame people for not knowing your intent, they aren’t mind readers.

With that last part of your comment I get the impression you’re not planning to discuss this civilly or seriously, so i think I’ll stop this here. have a nice day

I don’t know, I consider myself quite fluent in English, and I’m neurotypical, I still thought you were either an edgy 12 year old or someone that actually meant it, until i saw your edit

If you write a stupid opinion as a joke, but write it the same way a person seriously holding that opinion would have written it, then there’s not really any way to tell them apart, like it or not that’s just how it is, so either people have to guess you’re joking or guess you’re serious, and people usually lean towards serious

Maybe one day we’ll be rid of idiots and can say stupid shit without anyone thinking we’re being serious, but that day has yet to come I’m afraid

It’s called Poe’s law
