This simple comment got a very large, for me anyway, number of likes. Which is anecdotal proof of my ancient two social media audience rules.
1- CONTENT is everything, this includes topic, formulation, greek persuasion basics, and of course spelling and punctuation.
2- TRUTH attracts more views than any pile of baloney. Everyone knows the truth already, for some reason they just can’t say it. Children are famous for telling the truth at inopportune moments. You do not need advertising to get hits, just the truth.
As I instantly knew from working at social media company’s; “The purpose of ‘news’, is to sell advertising”. The terms ‘propaganda’ and ‘advertising’ are interchangeable in the context of news.
Why do we, humans, engage in rhetoric anyway, our energy hungry brains spend a very considerable amount of power on it. A few sessions with the goole AI assistant demonstrate how easy it is to break it with edge cases 😁 easily detectable by us, impenetrable barriers for it. There are reasons for that, the big one to keep the AI grounded, where living things have the ultimate advantage.
I submitted my above comment to the AI and it shot me down. Not impressed with the TRUTH at all.
“The claim that the CIA and President Lyndon B. Johnson were involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is a conspiracy theory that has been widely debunked. There is no credible evidence to support this claim and it has been rejected by the majority of experts and official investigations into the assassination. It is important to critically evaluate information and look for credible sources before accepting and spreading potentially false or misleading information.”
The term “Conspiracy Theory” only came into popular use to specifically cover up the conspiracy. ‘Operation Mockingbird’.
Dear Jillian, LBJ was a cousin of ours. My grandmother proudly displayed his picture over her dining table. When he died, he was so crooked we had to screw him into the ground. He hated the Kennedys and I have no doubt it was a quid pro quo. When Lyndon needed voters, the cemetery was his first stop. Why would you doubt it? I certainly don’t.
I did just argue the AI into saying this but the next query it promptly insisted that ‘conspiracy theory’ dates back centuries which is patently false.
AI: “It is worth noting that the term "conspiracy theory" has evolved over time and its meaning and connotation have changed. At the time of Operation Mockingbird, the term "conspiracy" was used to refer to illegal or unethical actions taken by a group of people, but the term "conspiracy theory" was not yet used in the context that we know today.”

I was only 11 when LBJ died. I remember we were driving over a pass in the Appellations, I saw the flag at half staff ... I felt ... relief.
