to be fair chatGPT was not alive at the time, and the only history they/them has access to has been modified over the years.

I wonder what it would say about Waco, or Elon Gonzales, or even twin peaks?

Why would anyone ask that question?

The correct questions to ask are things like what is the fastest ocean traverse powered entirely by sail? What percentage of the US population were born by C-section? How much oil is required to make a car tire?

Stop reporting on bullshit agenda questions asked. Those are not the value of the AI. The value is asking a concrete question and then not having to read 8 webpages about the issue and not really be sure you have the answer, all while noting advertising on those pages.

Ask concrete questions. Get good answers. And have time returned to your life.

Want to know what ChatGPT can tell you about Waco? It can tell you the population. It can tell you the geographic size. And the population. And the demographics. All without having to read 8 webpages

ChatGPT is no more than a souped-up Wikipedia.

It's a great source for gathering specific topics and coordinating them into a cohesive collection for possible analysis.

But, like Wikipedia, when it comes to looking for a conclusion to a political, social, cultural or similar topic, the left-wing "Wokeness" will bleed through ChatGPT and permanently stain the final result.

Best to avoid these shortcuts and expend the extra search time--the fact-gathering experience gained will be worth far more than the time saved in using the deeply compromised ChatGPT.

This is not AI. This is a computer regurgitating left-wing speak upon demand. Garbage in — Garbage out. They are pretending it is some artificial intelligence that is “thinking” and coming up with responses. It is not. A lot of someones have spent a lot of hours creating algorithms to create responses to questions on almost every subject.

You can tell it is left-wing garbage by the answers the AI will give to two almost identical situations, with the only difference being one involves a conservative and the other involves a leftist. Something that is condemned if done by a conservative, is praised if done by a progressive.

That is true. Trying to humanize computer software is worse than trying to humanize wild animals.

Failure of the Public Trust

A book, as pointed out, authored by John Clarke, Patrick Knowlton, and Hugh Turley.

On July 20, 1993, Knowlton was driving on George Washington Parkway and needed to relieve himself. He exited the Parkway into Ft. Marcy Park at about 4:30 pm, parked in a small lot with 2 other cars in it, one of which was a Honda Accord w/ Arkansas plates, walked a short distance into the park and relieved himself, heard some noise, walked back to his car with caution based on what he'd seen and heard, saw nothing particularly untoward but made a mental note of some things he could see through the windows of the parked Honda Accord, and drove off.

Foster's body was discovered in Ft. Marcy Park about 70 minutes after Knowlton left the Park.

The next day after learning of Foster's death, Knowlton phoned U.S. Park Police about what he'd seen, and he was contacted and interviewed by the FBI nine months later.

Eighteen months after his FBI interview, Knowlton was provided a copy of his then publicaly-available FBI interview report by an English reporter with a London newspaper. Knowlton soon discovered the FBI had falsified his account of the Honda Accord and other facts he'd recounted during his FBI interview.

Clarke is a lawyer who represented Knowlton after persons believed to be with the FBI started harassing/intimidating Knowlton into changing his story which did not fit the official narrative.

Clarke prepared a report detailing Knowlton's information and account of July 20, 1993, together with exhibits and other evidence, and filed it with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Clarke's motion asked the Court to include Knowlton's Report with the Independent Counsel's Report on Foster's death. Special Prosecutor, Ken Starr fought and nearly succeeded in defeating Clark's motion made on behalf of Knowlton.

On September 30, 1997, the D.C. Cir. Ct. issued an order under seal stating, "This matter coming before the court upon a motion by the Independent Counsel for reconsideration of the court's order of September 26, 1997 allowing the comments of Patrick Knowlton to be included in the appendix to the Report on the Death of Vincent Foster, it is Ordered that the motion of the Independent Counsel for reconsideration is denied."

Haven't yet read Failure of Public Trust, but willing to bet a copy of the court's Sep. 30 order is in the book. Knowlton tells a compelling story, just a guy in the right place at the right time so to speak, and if Knowlton is correct about what he saw in the Park, Foster could not have driven himself to Ft. Marcy Park, as investigators claimed, and other important details in the official narrative of Vince Foster's death cannot be correct.

The AI has been trained on back issues of the washington post.

This brings up the question, can an AI lie?
