I have seen LLMs used to karma farm in order to create sellable accounts, but this account is 12yo which I find more disturbing because it means it used to be a real person’s and is now being used for something else.

How do you know it’s AI? If we’re all being exposed to its quirks, there will be subconscious feedback on our writing styles.
It’s the classic AI writing style — restating the original point in unnecessarily elaborate terms, explaining the joke as if the reader needs a literature review, setting up a false dichotomy, and ending with a neat little generalized takeaway. Add some em dashes and words like “rather than” and “as though,” and you’ve got the whole package. It’s not any one quirk; it’s the cumulative effect of sounding polished, verbose, and weirdly over-explanatory without actually adding much.
Posting highly formatted but substanceless empty fluff is not a “writing style”, it’s spam. A human is certainly capable of doing that if they set their mind to it, but occams razor strongly points to automation.
i guess the em dash is a red flag too
