The thing to understand is that an LLM is not in any sense reading and understanding your words. It is not interpreting and producing “factual claims”; it is interpreting and producing “completions that are possible.”

U.K. cartoonist Rebecca Burke on her ICE detainment: 'No one should be here' - The Comics Journal
On Feb. 26, 2025, Rebecca Burke became a prisoner of the United States immigration system. Burke, a 28-year-old comic artist from Wales, had come to the U.S. on a tourist visa on Jan. 7, in the waning...
“The trip was intended to serve as grist for Burke’s comic work, which has often revolved around the artist’s travels across 🇺🇸… This wasn’t Burke’s first trip to the U.S., [but when she] attempted to cross the 🇨🇦 border[, she was] incarcerated by immigration authorities for the next 19 days.”

And do free people expect to read every book they want to read for free (at public expense)?

Molly White @molly0xFFF
