I recently came across an article from WIRED about Elon Musk’s “TruthGPT” idea, which he told Tucker Carlson about. Apparently, Musk, a South African, wants to create a conservative chatbot, because apparently ChatGPT is woke. The first thought that came to my mind was “what?”. AI can’t be biased, Elon. Maybe people are biased, but AI is artificial. Strange you don’t know that, considering you claim to be a functioning member of society. There is a difference between political bias and general consensus. The nation’s opinions tend to sway liberally because the literal definition of liberal is “open to change”. The world changes. Hence, liberal, progressive, and all those words aren’t just buzzwords. They’re reflective of the flow of life. What many conservatives seem to be unable to understand is that two or three people they met on Facebook outside of their local community aren’t the national majority. These people say liberals don’t listen. But do conservatives listen to what actual scientists say about climate change? No. It upsets me when people over seventy vote on bills that change things for people that will be here when they’re not. What sixty-five-year-old man is going to need an abortion? When is Kevin McCarthy ever going to compete on a sports team against a trans athlete? It’s very important to realize that newscasters’ opinions are not news. Just because something is said on the news, does not mean that that idea itself is news. When a news anchor gives their opinion, it isn’t to be taken as an addendum to the news. However, news without opinion becomes news without emotion. There’s a public channel called NewsNet, which claims to be an unbiased TV news channel, but the anchors never show emotion. They just report the news. They say nothing. They lack emotion, nuance, and relatability. They look sad. Even North Korean newscasters pretend to have opinions better than these guys. When bias goes out the window, so does emotion. A little bit of bias is important. Otherwise, you’re going to sound like a robot. Artificial intelligence bots are not robots, though. AI learns from people. It learns from what it is told. If the majority of people feed AI a certain opinion, that becomes fact to the AI. AI cannot understand nuance. AI doesn’t take emotion into account. It says what it hears. It’s not biased because it doesn’t have an opinion. AI thinks that everything it knows is true. It’s like, what if someone told a blind person who’s never seen before that the sky is yellow? They would believe that as fact until someone told them otherwise. If you told someone that Charlie Chaplin was American because they’ve never heard him speak, they would believe it was true. AI can’t think for itself. It won’t question what it’s being told. AI isn’t biased, maybe people are biased, or maybe the culture has changed. Maybe you’re behind the times, Elon. Maybe it’s you that needs a new opinion.

apologies to my reader(s)
just feeling things today so i’m mass-posting poetry about a boy
beach bum
ocean eyes and sandy hair
he’s the beach of people
and i don’t even like the beach
but i like him
i like him a lot
i think he’s special
and unique
i wish he’d take a break
from following his friends around
and explore the world on his own
you could get lost in those ocean eyes
and i would
we all need someone special
someone bright eyed and kindhearted
i had so hoped mine would be him
perhaps there’s still a chance
sequel to a daydream
sequel to a daydream
that she had months ago
the storyline is different
the world is new and magical
more than she has ever wanted
she finds a new ideal
a little dream to keep her satisfied
for as long as she’s afraid
she could never say a thing
not one word to him
of course
this time she is not shaking
because this boy does make her nervous
but not like the one before
her poetry is somber
not full of utter glee
yet even though she wants to
she’d never let the feeling out
the seashells in his eyes
and the sandy beaches in his hair
she seems to think it’s worth it
and life won’t get in the way
but the sequel to this daydream
is happier and kind
the sort to make her feel things
no matter how hard she tries
avoidance is the safest
the route to keep the status quo
nothing makes her feel this way
and she wants to let him know
something i wish i could say
this is for you, 23.
i don’t know why, but i like you.
i like your smile.
your eyes, the color of seashells.
i like the way you seem to always know what’s next.
you’re prepared for anything, i guess.
i like that you care.
i like something about you.
but i can’t figure out what it is.
so i guess i will wait and see.
because all i can think about is you, 23.
so much for a productive afternoon.
i wish i could tell you all of this.
but i can’t.
not yet.
not now.
i need a nap.
