It is a fact that the ChatGPT apps are completely wrong in a very high percentage of cases today. Sometimes they are right and that is amazing. But it is not amazing when lawyers use ChatGPT to prepare their briefs and it invents cases that never happened. What does any of that have to do with George Conway. Are you saying that George Conway writes his briefs using ChatGPT? I seriously doubt it.

Anyway, that is all off topic. My point was that Musk is trying to justify the wholesale firing of government worked on the basis that if you just give Elon a contract for a few billion dollars, he will just run the government data into his magic AI machine and, BINGO, no more need for government workers. It is all bullshit and all a fraud because Musk has never, ever completed any AI project that had the results be claimed, and he hasn't even started on this one.

Yet, the workers are being fired nonetheless. This is all a fraud to make government fail so that the public will say "See. I knew government was a bad idea." This is the fraud I'm talking about.
