Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

You ~~err'd~~ fucked-up twice.

Once when you flat out failed to find anything using Google, when other people clearly had no trouble at all. If you're telling the truth, this just means you suck at Google. There's no reason to be googling chatgpt's hallucinations instead of searching for the stuff an actual human told you about.

The second time was when you took chatgpt seriously. Just don't. It's a very expensive toy that occasionally does something cool. We're still trying to figure out if it's actually useful for anything, or if it's just really good at appearing useful.

Ok, one: chill the fuck out

Two: when google did not return anything useful, for WHATEVER REASON, i didn’t come back and assume the event didn’t happen, i asked for MORE info, like a good little netizen.

Three: the event chat gpt referenced was NOT a hallucination: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2002/10/paul-wellstone-s-memorial-service-turns-into-a-pep-rally.html Surprise! When i looked up Paul Wellstone and filming at a memorial , this is the event i found for the first page.

Four: me bringing up chat gpt was due to just how uncharacteristic it shut down my query. So i did my due diligence. Chill out.

It's very clear that you "attempted" to call the original commenter out for false information, just 'subtly' in case you were wrong, and got called out yourself for it.

Your defensiveness is just making it more clear. That's why you're getting down voted.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Incorrect. I don’t know Paul Wellstone. But the poster brought up that trump had a Paul Wellstone event. So i wanted to know what happened. Instead of attempting to fabricate meaning that isn’t there, how about not flying off the handle. I am defensive because to an earnest question i was instantly down voted. I even brought up an event that was close to what was talked about and asked if there was another he was talking about.
