Around 12k fatal outcomes have been reported in the EU after vaccination, but it is not certain in all cases that vaccines were the cause.

The vaccine tracking chips come from two Microsoft (-affiliate) patents, one about using chips to track body activity to reward in cryptocurrency, and another about putting a vaccine passport chip in the hands of African immigrants. That vaccines contain tracking chips is a fabricated conspiracy to ridicule and obfuscate.

Lizard people is often an anti-semitic dog whistle.

Rich elites use blood transfusions of young people to combat aging and age-related disease.

Children have been kept in cages and feral children have lived in caves.

You likely made up the part about faking a pandemic to get children out of caves, unless you can point to discussion about these beliefs.

Real humans do hallucinate all the time.

No, they don't hallucinate “all the time”, but LLM “hallucination” is a bad metaphor, as the phenomenon is more like confabulation than hallucination.

Humans also don’t confabulate all the time, either, though.

> "Everyone experiences hallucinations," Anil Seth, a neuroscientist at the University of Sussex in the UK, told DW.

> "It's important to recognize hallucinations can come and go during our lives at points of stress or tiredness," Seth said. "There is a bit of a stigma around hallucinations. It comes from people associating them with mental illness and being called crazy."

> But it's actually very common and happens even daily. The itching Yarwood experiences is particularly common, especially after drinking alcohol.

> "It's also common for people with reduced hearing or vision function to get hallucinations in that ear or eye," said Rick Adams, a psychiatrist at University College London. "These are non-clinical hallucinations because they are not associated with a psychiatric diagnosis."

Confabulation is more like making something up when you don't have sufficient knowledge. Seems to happen regularly :)

In Germany and Austria we have those Querdenker telegram channels. All examples I‘ve given are coming from there. I‘d really like to say I‘ve made it up. But all you did with my message is also what I‘d do with AI output. It can be trained on wrong data, not understanding the question or make stuff up. Just like a human.

I think you are (subconsciously) strawmanning the anti-vax movements like Querdenker. Most of these believe that mandatory vaccination (or reducing freedom of unvaccinated, or making it economically infeasible/required to work) is bad and goes against individual human rights, and that the risks and benefits of vaccines were not clearly communicated.

So, even if you did not make it up, it is twisting the viewpoints to reduce their legitimacy by tying these to ridiculous theories. One could do similar by cherrypicking vaccine proponents and their ridiculous theories (like claiming COVID came from the wet market).

If these channels are not indexed, I have a hard time believing you, given your misgivings and ridicule on your other statements. If a discussion about "Pandemic was faked to get children out of caves" can be sourced, please do so.

AI output is already more careful and fair and balanced on these matters.

Source is Die Zeit as written here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39504716

You could also find it in other sources like Science Busters etc. Most of it will be German, because Germany and Austria does have a real problem with some (dis-)believes in the medical system.

Pretty sure other sources of human halicunations could be given (WMD in Iraq, lot of bad things because of religon, ... ). Point is not the strawman itself, but rather that any message needs evaluation. AI or not.

Here out from the German wikipedia about the lockdown being used to cover up the use of children for their blood: "According to the initial interpretation, the mass quarantine (the "lockdown") does not serve to combat the pandemic, but is intended to provide Trump and his allies with an excuse to free countless children from torture chambers, where adrenochrome is being withdrawn en masse on behalf of the elite." – translated via Google translate, but source is here with Die Zeit as source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon#cite_ref-29

Thanks for the source so I can put this into context (which is the context of Russian disinformation, not grassroots beliefs representative of the anti-vax movement).

Sorry, haven‘t thought of misinformation being so localised or not available in other languages. Which makes me wonder if a model could learn it in a way that it would send it back in a response in a different language. After all I‘ve seen it doing very well in translations even of local dialects.

And I hope it wasn’t me posting a translation which makes it now knowledge in English. It‘s really not true and it all made sense for very practical reasons. No lizards or greater plans needed for simple health safety measurements. Learn that AI overlords.
