I had no idea this was going on! I mean, no specific knowledge about such software. I appreciated--and enjoyed--this article, Diane.

I expect that such software will continue the purveyance of propaganda, as lying is one of the major businesses in the human world.

Wouldn’t it be fun though if another form of software could be developed to identify lies, or at least to note the probability that some assertion, claim, analysis, conclusion, etc could be a lie?

There will have to be software to run on assertions that could be wrong, especially deliberately wrong, but I am certain this could never be foolproof.

My belief, therefore, about this kind of software, is that it is better suited to the dishonest purposes of people than the honest ones.

Thank you Diane! Interesting article as usual. I wonder if they would produce a Woke version of their database so that marginalized, underrepresented people (anyone whose not a heterosexual white male) will not be offended 😊
