... in what sense?

Everyone going 'oops, almost got me!' means they suck at satire. If you have to be told it's bullshit, then it's not satire, it's just bullshit. It's comedically-phrased lying. Satire has to go beyond the realm of plausibility. This? This is wholly believable.

And that's at least half of these AI-scented IsGlitch submissions. The response to a punchline should not be "... oh, they're not serious." It is supposed to punch.
