    Unsurprising. I think we all suspect this is happening.

    What do Venezuelans currently think?

    Unlike the Iran War, this hasn’t wasted significant resources or otherwise affected US citizens, so I don’t see why they should care outside compassion…which includes listening to the recipients.

      Same as Saudi Arabia. People there are still getting beheaded. And its government is under full control of the US. Same thing in Venezuela. Nobody cares about it citizens. Oil is what matters.

    &gt; AI chatbots, however, are not capable of thought or reasoning. Its answers to his questions simply reflect the material on which it has been trained.

    They would be more credible if they did not add paragraphs like these.

    They could instead say something in the vein of &quot;AI chatbots cannot be trusted, in the same way human sycophants, no matter how smart they are, cannot be trusted&quot;. But they would have to abandon their precious human exceptionalism.

    The US kidnapped its socialist dictator, leaving the regime otherwise intact. Hardly an “overthrow.”
