Mr. Merriweather: Listen to me, a two legged creature will believe anything and the more preposterous the better: whales speak French at the bottom of the sea. The horses of Arabia have silver wings. Pygmies mate with elephants in darkest Africa. I have sold all those propositions.

Jack Crabb: Or maybe we’re all fools and none of it matters.

Whenever the MSM is trusted as a source or as a factchecker remember this tweet:

The MSM sold all of those ideas to people who bought every single one of them. That’s why they’re not trusted anymore.

I don’t know what’s funnier, those who fell for those hoaxes or people who actually trust AI on anything remotely controversial.

It’s Wikipedia without knowing who the editors are.
