  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Duck Duck Go's AI Says, Falsely, Trump Died of Rabies

This might not be the right forum but


"The infection was linked to a sequence of events involving Vice President JD Vance, who passed away shortly before Trump."
As the AI feature explains, Trump was apparently predeceased by Vice President JD Vance, who also died from the incurable virus. In fact, if you click the article it cites as evidence — which looks like it was published by a local West Virginia broadcaster called WKNA News, but more on that in a moment — the piece asserts that Trump got bit by Vance on purpose, acting on the advice of Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy Jr, who advised that the deadly infection could confer “superpowers.”

Needless to say, not a word of this is true. Trump and Vance are alive, and though RFK Jr has made numerous dubious health claims during his tenure in the government, he has never espoused the health benefits of rabies infections. (DuckDuckGo’s AI also inexplicably cites an ABC News story about an Ohio man who died from rabies that makes no mention of Trump.)

The takeaway is check the sources AI provides. Read them and see if they support the claims.

Or, y'know, not rely on AI, period. That's my general stance on the issue.

That's beyond satire, absolutely ridiculous. I can't imagine anyone would believe it.
I might have agreed with you once, but these days, who knows? ("They're eating the dogs!")

This part sounds plausible tho....

...the advice of Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F Kennedy Jr, who advised that the deadly infection could confer “superpowers."

I think that AI, Artificial Intelligence, is misnamed. It's really AS, Artificial Stupidity.
As far back as the 1980's, one of my employers was fascinated by AI, which few people had heard of at the time. His company went bankrupt.

You mention AI sources. I have never seen an AI blurb give a source.
I'm just trying to figure out how to stay away from AI.

No, the stupidity is real.

If you google anything, the first thing that usually appears nowadays is an AI summary with links to sources:

It is increasingly difficult.

I like to call it an "artificial idiot". It is both fake and stupid.
