You wrote that, Laz. ChatGPT could never write something so entertaining. The dead give-away? No mention of “I’d hit that!” type of comments.
Well how do you like that! AI says I'm a cherished member of the community. 😊
I know you guys (and gals) would use other descriptors:
No, I actually didn't... and I was a little surprised that ChatGPT missed that!
Oh well, the experts are now recognizing that ChatGPT can give incomplete (or even wrong) answers...
LOL, nice.
I need to work on 10% of your AI prompt skills.
I still don’t believe ChatGPT wrote that. Fess up! It’s ok! You’re cherished here, remember?
LOL!! Nailed it :-)
Gimmee a call some time soon. I'll spin you up to speed in an afternoon.

So how many AI’S are There?
.
I’m thinking AI may be multiplying as We Speak.
.
There was something bothering me about all these responses and I think I put my finger on it. They are too polite and flattering. In one sense this is all fine and good, but it reinforces my sense that behind the raw search power of AI is a set of manipulated algorithms that produce bias in how it responds and communicates. An AI that is trained to be courteous and flattering can just as well be trained to manipulate and deceive. Be wary.
“I’d Hit That”
.
I Agree ——Call BS.
The lack of skill Lazamataz skill brings to Free Republic puts him in a class all his own. His writing on Free Republic is a cringe-worthy collage of stale tropes, tired memes, and the creative energy of a soggy napkin. Every post reads like someone trying desperately to be clever, armed only with the same handful of worn-out “jokes” he’s been recycling for years — none more insufferable than his brain-dead, beaten-to-death "I'd hit it" quips, which were already threadbare two decades ago.
Creatively, Lazamataz is like a wind-up toy that ran out of batteries sometime in the early 2000s. His attempts at humor are painfully predictable, his satire dull and blunted beyond repair. Instead of evolving, innovating, or deepening his voice, he wallows in the same lazy punchlines and eye-roll-inducing setups that long ago wore out their welcome even among the least discerning audiences.
Reading a Lazamataz post is like trudging through an abandoned carnival: broken rides, faded paint, and the unmistakable smell of something long dead. There’s no depth, no spark, no new ground broken — just an endless recycling of the same half-baked notions, reheated for the hundredth time and still somehow served cold. His creative ceiling isn’t just low — it’s underground.
Rather than offering insight, entertainment, or even provocative nonsense, Lazamataz brings to the table a dead weight of hollow bluster. He substitutes volume for wit, repetition for humor, and self-indulgence for actual creativity. The result is a body of work so aggressively mediocre that reading it feels less like participating in a conversation and more like being trapped in a broken-loop broadcast of 2005’s worst internet jokes.
Additionally, Lazamataz's favorite subject seems to be... Lazamataz. Somehow, he twists any question or post to a longwinded, boring discussion about himself. He is so self-oriented that even his mirror has vanity issues.
If Free Republic were a university of ideas, Lazamataz would be the guy sneaking into lectures he doesn't understand, standing up at the end to deliver the same bad joke, oblivious to the fact that everyone stopped laughing years ago.
In short: Lazamataz isn't just bad. He's a monument to how far one can coast on sheer inertia, oblivious to the fact that the world — and humor — have long since left him behind. Why the moderators haven't banned him long ago is a mystery that nobody will ever solve.
As is typical in my daily failings on Free Republic, I failed to ping you to the TRUE description of Laz. See above.
(hangs head in shame)
Yes you are correct. Some of the early AIs got pushback for its results eg the first black president George Washington. But people and the market will separate the wheat from the chaff. I wouldn’t want to be Google right now, their AI is weak. As is Meta’s. Supposedly Grok has 6 or 8 modes you can set it to (not sure if they’re all live). And supposedly if you keep pressing the question with added instructions like “be meaner” and “be vulgar” it will respond in such a fashion. I’m not suggesting Grok is any more fair minded than the others. But eventually if one of these gets market dominance, it wouldn’t take much to change the code either overnight or gradually over time to deliver very biased responses. You gain trust in it but then they decide to shift 0.25% each day, in about a year it will be totally different but the users may not notice so much - and their internal favorability bias will make them want to continue trusting it for quite a while longer. Like the frog in the pot of water on the stove.
Why would a wind-up toy need batteries?
AI could definitely write that. It depends on the prompts you give it. Go back to your original search and tell it to be extremely flattering about you, your posts and your utility to the online community. See what it says then.
Ah HA! ChatGPT fails AGAIN!`
