>...AI doesn't know any of us. I suppose we could rely upon it to render a judgement on whether or not I am personally attacking John (or anyone else.) BillK is the one among us who appears to be the most skilled in the use of AI. I do invite him (or anyone else) to feed the entire exchange into AI, see if it "thinks" I am attacking anyone. BillK? Anyone? spike
Adrian, we have been discussing this for years, dacades: the use of AI as a judge. This is cool: we get a chance to test it where the stakes are low. Understatement, the stakes are zero. There is no money to change hands, nothing but a disagreement among friends. I consider everyone who posts on ExI a friend, even if we disagree on some matters.
It is night in the UK where BillK lives, but he will see this in the morning and likely have a result for us soon. In the meantime, I do wish to make it clear that my intention is not to attack John. I disagree with him on his use of the term militia, or suggesting there is anything the least bit neo-Nazi about it. A neo-Nazi group dressing up in camo and doing military exercises should be referred to as " a neo-Nazi group dressing up in camo and doing military exercises." That is clumsy of course. So we could call them "neo-Nazis."
If we do, consider that they are a marching self-contradiction. The first thing the original Nazis did is disarm the German citizenry. This resulted in their facing little armed resistance as they rounded up their own citizens for a horrifying genocide, mass murder. Our neo-Nazis are armed themselves, and have a right to do that, because of our constitution.
Let's see what AI makes of our discussion. It would be even more interesting to compare the various AIs: Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, and any others in common use.
