This is a response about FR from the AI site, ChatGPI, I found it interesting and thought I'd share.
FreeRepublic is a conservative news forum and website that has been known to spread misleading or false information, and engage in conspiracy theories and hate speech. While it presents itself as a platform for conservative discourse and activism, it has also been criticized for promoting extremist views and rhetoric.
One of the main reasons why FreeRepublic can be considered dangerous is its potential to spread misinformation and propaganda. The website is known for its biases and selective reporting, which can create an echo chamber effect that reinforces particular political views and opinions. This can lead to individuals being misinformed or uninformed about important political issues, and can contribute to the erosion of public trust in media and democratic institutions.
Additionally, the website has been known to promote hate speech and extremist views. Some of the posts on FreeRepublic have included racist, sexist, and homophobic comments, and have even advocated for violence against political opponents. This kind of rhetoric can contribute to a toxic political climate and create an environment of hostility and division.
Overall, while FreeRepublic presents itself as a platform for conservative activism and discourse, it can be dangerous due to its potential to spread misinformation and hate speech, and contribute to a divisive and toxic political climate.
Not that simple but yes it draws from all sorts of sources in its training. It is surprisingly reasonable in its political responses considering that liberals wrote a huge amount of the content on the internet that chatgpt draws from.
Yuppers

We had a Good run,
Let’s not be Bitter.
Should juxtapose this with what it thinks of Democratic underground
Maybe it should analyze its own biases and misinformation...
Hey, I always wanted to be toxic!
Yeah! I have finally achieved my life long dream of being a crotchety old man!
If fourth graders could actually write. But it does indeed sound like a fresh from journalism school 5 paragraph essay. The funny thing is you could replace the subject FR with the old Twitter or Facebook or Google or even many "mainstream media" and it would be correct.
Sounds like the AI is programmed to be just another propaganda device. Like Wikipedia. No reasonable debate about ideas allowed. Just a dogmatic answer. Have users posted racist comments, hateful comments, off-beat news stories with dubious sourcing here? Of course they have. But that doesn't define this website any more than it would define Facebook or Youtube which has massively more hate, racism and ideologically dogmatic postings than all the posts on FR combined.
This is a timely article.
My wife and I are in our 80’s and are giving books away that we have owned for up to 7+ decades.
So far we have found a few good and younger people to adopt my wife’s books.
My older books are in 2 bookcases. Bruce Catton was one of my key authors and his books on our history are probably 99.9999% accurate and many may not be available anymore.
A sibling, a couple of cousins and maybe one heir are possible receivers of some of these books.
Conservative authors’ books in local libraries often never make it to the shelves when donated.
So he loved good books and articles about fishing.
The Old Man and the Sea was a novella written by the American author Ernest Hemingway in 1951 in Cayo Blanco (Cuba), and published in 1952.
We bought The Old Man and the Sea for Dad’s 60th Christmas. He must have read it a hundred times. After reading the book, Dad’s fantasy was going to live in Cuba/Mexico in our winter time to fish and to be an old fishing bum on the beach.
After we moved to N. California, I took him Salmon fishing on a charter fishing boat out the North Bay. He caught the first keeper, the first limit and the largest salmon. There were 3 nice $ pots that he got besides the salmon.
My Mother loved salmon and so did my wife and our kids. He learned to love it. So we ate charcoal cooked salmon basically every night for the week of their visit. We had some of the bigger salmon made into smoked salmon for he and Mom to take home.
The Old Man and the Sea for his 60th Christmas. He must have read it a hundred times. His fantasy was going to live in Cuba in our winter time to fish and be an old fishing bum on the beach. I came close while in the Navy and being on board a ship based in Gitmo during the Cuban missile Crisis. Many lunch hours at sea were spent catching the evening dinner or lunch for our crew. Dad wore out photos of me landing a good size fish close to Gitmo.
So now we are in the process of having good people “adopt” many of our good old books.
A close relative got Hemingway’s book after Dad died in 1977.
It sounds exactly like a liberal. Does not sound capable of reason, frankly.

Sounds like the AI nailed us, eh?
Which sentence is not reasonable?
Yep it seems that the SPLS is ChatGPT prime data set.
Why would it have even thought that FR had advertisers pulled in the first place? There’s no evidence.
I suspect it is heavily dependent on leftist websites that promote media boycotts and so assumes that any conservative website had advertisers pulled, so it commits the logical fallacy of “false analogy,” which assumes that if two things are similar in some ways they are similar in all ways.
Unexpected.
Looks like they missed the sarc tag. /s
Dangerous
Bwahahahaha
“I suspect it is heavily dependent on leftist websites”
Ha ha. Who do you think writes most of the content on the internet, MSM, books etc? Most of the world are left of center or worse.
Lol. Figures.
Ha!
