This video includes A.I.-generated segments based on excerpts from Dr. Thomas Sowell’s books and interviews, applied to modern events. Every effort is made to remain true to Dr. Sowell’s original intent, context, and message. It’s our version of asking: What Would Sowell Say? (WWSS) about the issues of our time. Our goal is to bring Dr. Sowell’s timeless insights to a new generation—not as distant history, but as enduring truth.

AI excerpts and interpretations are still not genuine though.

I think it’s a bad idea to post AI-generated media. It could ruin FreeRepublic.
“I think it’s a bad idea to post AI-generated media. It could ruin FreeRepublic.”
I agree!
Agreed-The Thomas Sowell Reader is a reference book for how/why economics and social issues find their way into pretty much everything else...
I agree. It has no place here. It’s bad enough to see people get spun up over satire posts thinking they are real. IMHO, AI posts could do bad damage here and elsewhere. They should be banned.
AI =FAKE.
Disrespectful puppeting of a great man’s image.
AMEN!!! I detest seeing FAKE pictures on FR!!
| I agree with those here who feel posting AI-generated comments is not a good idea. Very dangerous. Biden had his auto-pen fraudsters who stole the Nation from We the People. How is this "auto-voice" any different? I notice Sowell never made good with President Trump, the savior our Republic. For instance, in 2016 Sowell railed against Trump in the National Review's rebellion issue trying to sink his campaign. Perhaps Sowell now carries a thorn in his side seeing that Trump has shown a masterful touch in creating jobs and growing the U.S. economy -- despite breaking the "rules" that the RINOs, WSJ, and Sowell advocate as economic "high priests". Today, Sowell speaks out against Trump's tariffs which are already a stupendous success in attracting huge investments and revitalizing our industrial base, particularly battling China who aims to seriously cripple our Nation. The key problem? Sowell has no "skin-in-the-game". He only knows economic THEORY: he's never run a global business or had WIN-or-LOSE responsibility with thousands of employee mouths to feed. Trump has seen ups and downs in his business empire, but has come out a winner. There's no accident he's succeeded. President Trump has the right stuff because he's out there DOING, LEARNING, ADAPTING and even PUTTING HIS LIFE ON THE LINE for you and me. |
‘Thomas Sowell Reacts’ is a good read regardless.
Absolutley! Thank you for recognizing this good work.
I often will weave scripture together to make a point but by doing so I'm not “puppeting” the great work of the Holy Spirit.
AI generated “opinion” is modernized version of “if ( name) were alive today he or she would say this about that” ,which is speculation based on the speaker’s biases and understanding of (name).
But it is NOT actually (name) speaking.
I am fine with someone opining what they believe a deceased person would likely say as long as no one pretends the deceased is actually speaking.
As they clearly stated......” It’s our version of asking: What Would Sowell Say? about the issues of our time.”
