Western Civilization has been threatened as of late by the Frankenstein Prometheus of Artificial Intelligence based network by your triumvirate of big brother corporations. The threat posed being one of a further firewall of acclimating the population to taking direction from machines rather than somewhat accountable human beings. The methodology of the international corporate global state elite being to set up systems that enhance their ability to control the many with fewer and fewer live bodies. Pre-programmed entities like a ChatGBT providing a ‘Trojan Horse’ type of access to the legacy media dumbed down lumpen masses. The following interchange is an example of attempting to obtain useful information from such a system only to be repeatedly be stymied by boilerplate rhetoric that essential says nothing while seemingly saying something useful. An adjective filled number of empty prognostications riffing with ‘possibles‘, ‘potentially’s‘ and ‘maybe’s. Very amazingly the technique and tone identical to that of the current legacy media that daily puts up a smokescreen or high fluting terminology when analyzed essentially that says nothing of substance. Yet another bilious enterprise in a long line of similar initiatives to control the public outlook of human relations and diminish choices to suit an overall business plan of universal rule.
PLEASE NOTE: To my surprise in posting this article, a curious unexpected format phenomena has turned up in the form of topical readout of referenced lists of information in the form of what appears to be code based lists? It is as if it is pulling the approved boilerplate material from another central source. Please note that this convention is not from myself as the article’s author.
