    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    that was my favorite part too

    along with the repeated typos of "mank" for "mark" and "om" for "on"

    Pretty sure this isn't translated but copied.

    Because transcription errors like "Prease", "mank", "om", and "seiection" don't occur in a translation.  Furthermore,  the text looks roughly grammatically correct as long as you respace and repunctuate correctly.

    I thought of that too, but some of the phrasing is awkward at best, like referring to an hourly chime as a "time signal", or "on or off setting" instead of "enable or disable".

    Fair enough.  Perhaps it's both.
