Everyone knows that Donald Trump was the 45th president of the United States, but if Meta, the sinister and malevolent megacorporation formerly known as Facebook, gets its way, that fact will soon go down to the memory hole. The inconvenient little speed bump of 2017 to 2021, delaying our arrival at the socialist internationalist paradise our moral superiors envision for us, will be entirely forgotten as if it had never existed at all.
We see this in a small but glaring fact: Meta’s AI lists Old Joe Biden as the 45th president, omitting mention of Donald Trump as president altogether. Donald Trump? He does not exist and never existed. You are suffering from delusions, comrade!
Chaya Raichik of Libs of TikTok noted the omission on her X account. In the image she supplies, the Meta bot announces: “My name is Meta AI. Think of me like an assistant who’s here to help you learn, plan, and connect. What can I help you with today?” It is given the prompt: “Can you list all the U.S. presidents?” and cheerfully responds: “Yes I can! Here is a list of all 45 Presidents of the United States, in chronological order.”
There then follows an ordinary list of our nation’s chief executives, entirely ordinary, with Grover Cleveland’s nonconsecutive second term helpfully marked “(again),” just in case you might think the repetition of his name was a mistake in the list.
The real mistake, although it was certainly no unintentional error, doesn’t occur until the end of the list, when we see “44. Barack Obama 45. Joe Biden.” Then Meta AI chirps: “Let us know if you have any other questions!”

Not surprising. An article the other day mentioned that 2/3 of Meta’s workforce consists is focused on “disinformation” (and let’s face it, that means spreading it and censoring dissidents on their platform.)
maybe he can sue them for $454 million
“44. Barack Obama 45. Joe Biden.” Then Meta AI chirps: “Let us know if you have any other questions!”
Yeah, I got a couple:
1) who was president from 2008 to 2016?
2) who was president from 2020 to the present?
3) who was president from 2016 to 2020?
(and depending on the answers, I might have a few more)
Trump had vanished. A morning came, and he was missing from all media and books: a few thoughtless people commented on his absence. On the next day nobody mentioned him. On the third day people went to Google to search the list of presidents. It looked almost exactly as it had looked before—nothing had been crossed out—but it was one name shorter. It was enough. Trump had ceased to exist: he had never existed.

FartBook is competing for Artificial Stupidity of the year awards against Google
Explains why the ignorant morons running Facebook don’t have college degrees.
” don’t have college degrees.”
but they do seem to count on those who do ..
to believe all their crap.
Yes, it sure does.
Where can we elders go to keep up with family & friends if we have to give up Face Book? I know we have FR, but need the pictures etc.
These people are mentally ill. The ones programming the AI, I mean. It’s a real danger. Omitting Trump is a minor thing. On the grand scheme they will try move public opinion to an inexorable conclusion about its own existence, rights and responsibilities completely devoid from concepts such as morality, human ethics and justice among other concepts that are responsible for the development of civilization. It’s a real danger. And I am not convinced politicians regulating it would in any way make it better. For now I stake my hopes on a free market, namely on Elon Musk’s Grok. Can’t fully trust that either, but he at least does not appear to hiding his overt intentions with what he’s trying to develop. Indeed he openly worries about how AI will manipulate entire populations. Meta, IBM, Microsoft ChatGpt etc are all driven by hidden motives and hidden source codes.
Go to X. Slight learning curve to switch but you can limit your reach to groups you select and post whatever you want.
Well, what did we "elders" do back in, say, the 1980s?
Right! LETTER-WRITING!

This is why open source AI is needed
THIS IS WHY AT LEAST ONE, BUT PREFERABLY MORE, COMPLETE COPY OF THE INTERNET ARCHIVE A.K.A. “THE WAYBACK MACHINE” MUST IMMEDIATELY BE CREATED AND PUT IN OTHER HANDS NOT BEHOLDEN TO THE PRESENT MOMENT CURATORS OF THE EXISTING ARCHIVE.
“THE INTERNET IS FOREVER” IS BEING FALSIFIED IN THIS HOUR.
ARCHIVAL COPIES ARE BEING ERASED.
THAT ONLINE NEWS STORIES ARE SUBJECT TO “UPDATES” THAT ALTER BOTH THE HEADLINE AND THE CONTENT IS MERELY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.
THAT THERE IS NO TIMESPAN BEYOND WHICH SUCH “UPDATES” MAY OCCUR IS ALSO MERELY A BIT MORE OF THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.
A GLOBAL SUBPOENA REQUIRING THE UNALTERABLE PRESERVATION OF ALL EXISTING RECORDS MUST BE ISSUED, AND AN INTERNATIONAL TREATY OF ARCHIVAL SANCTITY FORGED THAT GUARANTEES FIDELITY, INDELIBILITY, AND WIDE-OPEN READ-ONLY ACCESSIBILITY.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Yeah - kinda like the article and how it left out the obvious next step - ask it who is Donald Trump and where does he fit in the Presidential line-up.
PJMedia is a lot of click bait.
