This was clear before, but it's now even more evident with the advent of ChatGPT, which can generate very elaborate prose on any subject that will sound extremely convincing to most people, but turns out to be nonsensical or pure bullshit upon close inspection by actual experts in that subject.
Unlikely, otherwise people like Elizabeth Holmes or Bernie Madoff wouldn't be able to scam so many investors. Even if you were to talk to them face to face, it's not so easy to differentiate an expert from an eloquent/charismatic bullshitter.
small assumption: Most of you haven't been in the presence of true power. Y'all even know what is truly going on in Texas/Mexico? How many of you have seen ... nevermind. Doesn't matter. All these comments mean nothing in the long run. Nothing will come of any of this. Just forgotten text into a database for later bring it out and slap me in the face with it.
