10. That isn't a link. I'm curious about the source of the quote in reply 2 - you have the entire post in quote marks -

which indicates it's a copy/paste from _somewhere_. I did several searches for exact strings of words you quoted there, and the only source the searches turned up was your post.

The reason I'm asking is that the formatting looks like chatbot responses I've seen posted elsewhere. The same is true of your reply 7 this morning, though you didn't put quotation marks around that.

I'm curious about whether those replies, especially reply 2, were AI-generated because chatbots make mistakes.

You might be quoting a government site that uses a chatbot to generate current information when someone visits the page. The Trump regime is infatuated with genAI. But offering chatbot responses on official pages doesn't make them any more reliable.

Again, I'd appreciate a link for where you found the quote you posted as reply 2.

If you asked a chatbot for that info yourself, so you don't have a link... Well, you wouldn't be the only DUer posting chatbot-written responses. But they should always be identified as coming from a chatbot, so people can evaluate the source of the quote.

And if the Trump regime has set up a chatbot on some site to generate info like the quote you posted in reply 2, I'd really like to know so I can alert a news site to check just how much that government chatbot might be hallucinating.
