5. Abundant Iniquity is my expansion of AI
Sat Feb 21, 2026, 03:09 PM
Saturday

It is Artificial and in no way, shape, or form intelligent.
It was programmed by mostly well meaning people, but is being trained from iniquitous news media, and illegal scraping of intellectual property.
It is not intelligent enough to discern fact from fiction. Especially when neither the government nor the press, two previously trustable resources, are putting out anything more than fiction.

Just because the word truth appears in some part of the page, does not make it so. No amount of repetition of the lie actually makes it truth, but AI systems are programmed to react to frequency, not veracity; they are as incapable of appreciating veracity as most republicans.

Intelligence requires discretion. AI will never have that, IMHO.
