Tips

culture
Crystallized in 2025 as users grew tired of over-polished celebrity accounts, AI-generated influencer content, and PR-controlled comments. 活人感 praises someone for sounding like a live, imperfect person: typos, unfiltered selfies, oversharing, real opinions. The opposite is 工业糖精 'industrial saccharine' or AI-generated blandness. Named a 2025 Top 10 buzzword by 《咬文嚼字》.
usage
Always as 有活人感 / 没有活人感. Common object: social-media accounts, celebrities, vlogs, AI chatbots. Also applied to customer service—an agent who types like a human, not a script.
