📈 The Future of Bike Seat Sniffing

As cycling culture continues to evolve, so too will the behaviors associated with it. Bike seat sniffing may become more accepted and even celebrated as part of the broader cycling experience.

There is a bright future in it.

This reads like some deranged generated AI article. It's repetitive and contains fluff. And the weird emoticons? It must be AI right?

I really want to know how and why this article came to be. Did they prompt this? Did they ask an AI to search bicycle forums and come up with interesting ideas for articles and then write them?

Or are these people just insane?
