Yesterday was the 56-year anniversary of when the NOPD rolled into the Desire Projects of New Orleans with a tank & guns & had a stand-off with the NOLA Black Panthers, which I detail in the story linked in OP. It all started after the mayor had two Black police officers infiltrate the Panthers.

This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.
