Ransom, you are vying with PJ for most and longest AI posts here.
#3 is SaveFerris with extremely bad memes and text that no one will ever share.
PJ - you’re number one that I can’t scroll through on the phone.
Ransom - you’re number two for AI garbage.
Ferris - You’re number three for colored and bold text that I immediately ignore.
I know you all have the best intentions and I love you. This is my constructive criticism.
It’s okay LOL π€£ - at least you weren’t nasty π€£
(canned response follows)
Obviously, at this point, I’m trying to reach FR lurkers and that is happening in astounding numbers. Frankly I never expected such things to happen to that degree. Several items have performed surprisingly well.
But like Hyundai which may offer cars in colors one might never consider, there are different tastes for someone else. Hence different versions of the same basic thing.
It’s all about educating and reaching on an individual level so that they, in turn, are equipped to go forth and do the same thing. It’s an inexact science π§ͺπ§ͺπ§ͺ to be sure πππ.
Ferris, I said I love you.
As you reach FReepers and lurkers in numbers with your message, may God bless. I think that’s fantastic. I didn’t know.
From your comments over the years, I know you’re a Godly person. Better than I. When I see all that colored bold text, I scroll past. That’s just me. When I see your regular posts, that’s when I stop and read.
A poet once wrote, describing a man, “He hands out words like they were precious gems. One will see riches to collect them.”
You are wise.
Scroll down far enough and youβll see a USEFUL paragraph summary, which should have been placed FIRST.
Thank you for your comments
I’m far from His best servant - ouch π€π€π€
BUT I had a calling - it has been a rough, rough road π£οΈπ£οΈππππ
Every battle has been arduous, for the most part - I do get weary but π often I’m encouraged to get back up and go again
Sometimes with amazing things - things I just often don’t share
STILL He has saved me in so many ways and circumstances - so I feel obligated to put His Word out there
And in today’s anti-Christian world πππ one is usually not too popular for doing so LOL π€£π€£π€£πππ
I don’t know what will happen of course but I DO have Faith in what He said in Isaiah 55:11
And I AM CERTAIN that Jesus is Lord, Jesus IS the Christ and Jesus is the Divine and Incarnate Son of God
I try to fight to make Him known to some degree
I might be the little toe of the whole body πππ and that’s okay
God bless ππππβοΈβοΈππ

PM FReepmail π
π Thanksβ βnote. Thankd to all posters.
Please stop posting AI slop.
This Grok BS reminds me of the slackers who tried to use Cliff Notes to write a book report:
If it was in any way successful, it meant you had a very poor teacher.
I don’t know how you do all of this..You truly are MOD!
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Kash Patel is busy reforming the formerly weaponized FBI, but the MSM doesn't provide an accurate picture of his work. I asked Grok to summarize his speeches and press releases, and provide links so I can catch up to what he's doing., enumerated wrote: This Grok BS reminds me of the slackers who tried to use Cliff Notes to write a book report:

It's just so awful for me to post summary statements of what he said and link the to the sources in which he said it! It means I'm so very poor to back up his statements like that. *hangs head in shame*
I should be more like you and just attack people without, you know, bothering to cite a single factual example of some kind of error.
Fair point. AI has its uses.
But I certainly didnβt mean to attack you personally - I was reacting to a trend where people say βhereβs what Grok saysβ as if Grok has an opinion.
I recognize thatβs not what youβre dong.. you are just using a tool to organize and present data, and that is legit.

Please excuse my boorish behavior and snarkiness when I addressed you. I have attacked for dumbing down FR by using AI.
I agree with you - it's a tool. I don't rely on it to upload my world view from the internet.
Instead, it can analyze and provide opinions I can consider, or at least realize others are saying things which an AI would interpret as (insert opinions here).I like to use it to fetch things. I recently posted about the status of the FBI probe into the assasination attempts Trump has endured. I was surprised to see a third one, an alleged 'murder-for-hire' group of 3 men linked to Iran. I didn't have to serach to find out if there were more - GROK did that for me.
I've seen Grok and others make mistakes. I check the sources or have Grok list the sources to find out why the data is wrong. I recently read a Grok response that judged Trump's actions on Immigration on 'overreach.' Looking at the source, IΒ realized Grok based its opinion on an article from the ALCU. I therefore specify the types of sources I consider valid, receive a GROK response, and then check for the sources used which I may ask Grok to remove.
So I think I am seeing sources, more so than when I read the NYT or other compromised media. When talking heads say, "Officials with reason to know say Trump is a dictator..." they haven't provided their sources (i.e., their managing editor /s). I do worry that some will treat AI as 'the answer' as they used to use 'Wikipedia' as the truth, until the founder of Wikileaks admitted it was then under the control of the CIA (rewriting reality, one day at a time).
I gave GROK instructions to compare the situations with riots in Chicago, Portland, and Los ANgeles and compare it with the requirements, according to U.S. law only (no social commentary), required for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act. No, it's not definitive but I obtained a framework that to me seems logical. Where else can I get someone to read the U.S. Constitution, the Law of War, and other official 'law of the land' documents, without injecting their own spin - as our media exists for the purpose of spin?
Here's that thread:
I regret that I engaged in 'friendly fire' incident, but I benefited from your even handed tone and care in commenting that you recognize what I am doing.
The risk of which you speak is real, though.
Reform the gestapo. That’s a good one. Unless Trump cans the thee stooges soon, it will remain exactly as it is.
