ChatGPT and similar programs weren’t just trained on the internet—they were trained on specific pieces of information presented in specific contexts. When stripped of that context, the bots can confuse and alarm users, or even dangerously mislead them.

AI chatbots strip language of its historical and cultural context. Sometimes what looks like a satanic bloodletting ritual may actually be lifted from Warhammer 40,000.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.
