I think you might have blocked her for this post. It's a real ahistorical kind of straw man to think doing word processor tasks in Word is using it as a substitute for ChatGPT, not the other way around. LLMs are decent at a lot of tasks (and genuinely good at a few). But they have downsides, too.
A response to a post. "You are really suggesting people us MS Word as a substitute for ChatGPT? It has been a garbage tool for 20 years. Now it’s garbage with Microsoft pushing AI as well."

"You think MS Word does not have AI and the cloud version is safe from copyright theft? Jesus." Their timeline has a bunch of retorts to things people didn't actually say (especially on responses to your post). /shrug

No, "evidence" doesn't "grow" that Taco Bell infected them. Maybe AT Taco Bell, but that implies it was TB's action. The public health official says they were responsible about it. Your headline paraphrase adds "eating at" which drastically changes blame. Here's where I pulled "culprit" from.
StreetsAJed's post from upthread. In the subheader of the link's image the word "culprit" is boxed and has arrows pointing to it.

Hey @oldmantex.bsky.social, I thought you'd like to know Biden took office in 2021, not 2020. If this had gotten wide circulation that could be embarrassing. I couldn't reply or quote tweet so this is the only way I could let you know.
A graph of monthly fentanyl deaths in the US. It goes up a lot in early 2020 and down in 2024. It incorrectly labels January 2020 (upswing) as when Biden took office and January 2024 (plummeting deaths) as when Trump did.

The post is from @oldmantex.bsky and says, "this should be front page news."

FYI - he came in with a little more about his motivations if you're curious.
A post from Ken Jennings (@kenjennings.bsky.social) that says:
No offense to them personally! We can all see why they worry. I just can’t have 100s of them self-soothing in my timeline every time I post something that implies we are not helpless and doomed.
