National Newspaper exposes Trump's Weakness on the World Stage

I would agree Max.  A posiitive thead about Obama and Biden would be great.  I will start by saying that America elected a black predident proving that we are not a rasist country.  We have come a long way


Wow, all you see is skin color, and you congratulate yourself for seeing their skin color.  Nice!

Now Max this is supposed to be positive.  I hope the encourage everyone one this site to post at least one positive thing about these 2 .  The idea was not for me to list all of the great things they did but give the chance for others.

I don't play childish games.

It was your idea Max, think positive

Bad form, Max.   You posted about people not posting positives about Obama and Biden and then when Brent does, you mock him for it.   Almost like you were baiting someone to do it, just so you can trash them.

 

Need to let go of the hate.   Brent is not Miller or Boiler, and doesn't deserve the vitriol they usually get.

I hope this post finds you well. I wanted to share some thoughts regarding the posts Brent made. I found them to be rather disingenuous and not particularly positive about Obama. The conclusion seemed self-serving and childish, which was quite disappointing.

 

Just to clarify, I don't harbor any hatred. I simply prefer to steer clear of engaging with disingenuous, foolish, or socially manipulative individuals, whether in real life or online. It's important to me to maintain a relaxed and happy demeanor.

 

Thank you for understanding.

Joe Biden was elected president with a black female running mate  proving that America is not a rasist or sexist country.  We should all feel good about the progress made to bring our country together.


Uhhh...no. Biden/Harris won in 2020 because they were running against the worst incumbent in the history of America--aftrr one of the worst years ever. You should note, Harris couldn't overcome the handicaps of her gender and her race when she ran against that same creature four years later.

 

The Democrats will keep losing as long as they keep nominating women. That persistent 5% of the electorate that says they would never vote for a female Presidential candidate is too much of a handicap to overcome.

 

America has improved, but we're still a grossly racist and sexist country compared to more advanced Western nations like Canada or the EU.

Appreciate the response,  Max.  Be well.

That reads like an AI piece.  Note the changed font, and most obviously the first sentence.  Max, did you actually compose this?  If so, my apologies.

 

Submit something to AI and this is similar to what you'll get.  Not necessarily erroneous material on its face; usually related in some way to the question, but not necessarily what was requested.

 

I'm told that teachers are now using programs to detect AI submissions from their students.  They'd already had programs that 'caught' plagiarized material.   I think this is interesting.  How do those work.  Kevin?

Candy, it's just getting underway, and not every district I work in uses that tool, but yes, it's a thing. It's not even close to necessary, though, if a teacher structures his homework assignments properly. Example: write an essay on the general course of the Civil War, significant events, personae, etc. Fifty years ago, you could have told easily enough when a student just went scurrying to the encyclopedia and copied stuff. It's not any different if they use AI now.

 

But rather than battle with that at all, I give my students assignments where they have to think and analyze. For instance, rather than ask them to talk about Gettysburg, I ask them to explain what Lee had hoped to accomplish, why he lost that battle, and why it was so bloody. Anything generated by an AI bot or simply copied from the interblab will be very easy to sniff out.

 

And for those despairing about the ability of our youth to think and reason in these times of the interblab, I'd like to note that some of the simultaneously cleverest and laziest of our copy-and-paste students deliberately introduce factual errors, like getting dates wrong, into their essays just so it won't look like they were copied.
