Robot texts

Four and a half years ago, Artemy Lebedev wrote the 98th paragraph of Kovodstvo .
What has changed since then? Have the texts on the web become more humane? May be. Not so often already have to stumble on passages like "seconds left: 1." People learned to teach robots to say β€œ1 second left,” β€œ2 seconds left,” β€œ5 seconds left”; or at least, in this case, shorten seconds to an unknowable "c".
And at the same time, many have not learned anything in these nearly five years.
Today in one of the blogs I saw lines in the genus:
June 13, 2007 in the category Marketing, Service

But the author of this blog writes about himself :
In addition, I correctly write texts in Russian. These are advertisements that sell and user manuals that are understandable to anyone. My press releases are interesting to both journalists and readers. I know how to write a selling text, because I myself was engaged and engaged in sales. Before writing a text, I study the audience to speak with readers in their language.

But β€œJune 13” is not in Russian. And marketing and service are two rubrics, not one. And the names of rubrics are written in Russian either with a lowercase letter or in quotes.
Here is how this text would look like, written in Russian:
June 13, 2007 in the headings "Marketing", "Service"

Perhaps you will call me old-fashioned ... but when I register on the Russian-language phpbb forum, I immediately change the date format to "H: i dmY". Because β€œ11:43 pm July 13, 2007” is not Russian.
And at the same time, many people who write like that sincerely believe that they speak Russian.

Disgusting when a robot talks to you. But even worse, when living people, instead of a normal language, begin to think and speak the language of machines.

Little has changed since.
