    I hadn’t noticed how new the account was, which definitely does weaken this point as evidence towards being a human, but aside from that, there isn’t anything particular that sets off alarm bells for me; their posts are primarily concerning recent news, but they’re not overly focussed on any particular news topic.

    With the advent of LLMs, I’ve found that there’s a spectrum of spam-posting: a more conventional bot account tends to have a high volume of posting, and you can usually see there’s a particular angle they’re pushing due to all or the majority of posts concerning a particular topic or issue; some accounts that read as less “botty” may have a human controlling what’s being posted, but using an LLM for the content of the posts or comments. Those are the two main archetypes I tend to see, but like I say, it’s a spectrum. OP doesn’t have a high posting volume, and the body of each post is quite small; there doesn’t seem to be any particular purpose to the account — it seems more plausible to me that this is just a human using emojis occasionally.

    I suspect I’m somewhat biased here; LLM generated text tends to be heavy on both em-dashes and semicolons, both of which I chronically overuse. I sympathise with people who are wary of potentially LLM generated content, but I worry about the risk of this wariness becoming excessive hypervigilance
