Today I heard a story about script bots being used on twitter. Me thinks at least one of the posters in the politics fora have many of the same characteristics which include a couple of dozen of the same comments, no rational argument or facts cited.
Hmm, any comments?

The bot trolling Alex Jones etc. fans? Yeah that was pretty funny :)

But to answer your real question I think you are simply describing dyslexia.

Which has nothing to do with IQ.

But I don't know who you're on about....

Well IIRC it have been proved that a program can not tell if it is running on a simulator or real hardware.

So you and I, the programs, can't tell if the universe is real or a simulation.
