RFK claims about vaccines fact checked by Senator Dr Bill Cassidy.

[Knuckles Z]

Ok. so the statement about hygiene and sewers is correct on how they helped.

But that does not stop the lie separately tells...



It is NOT an error of omission for Kennedy to point out 'hygiene helped' and it is a lie when Kennedy says THE STUDY PROVED VACCINES PLAYED NO ROLE in the improvements.

the two studies, as Senator Dr Cassidy reads on the air specifically states that "...the reductions in vaccine are impressive..." as it goes on to cite the very substantial role vaccines have played.

So that is not an error of omission and to say so is a lie or you not understanding the word you said. Kennedy could have solely mentioned hygiene and been correct but make the error of omission by not giving vaccines some credit too. Instead Kennedy mentions hygiene and then says the studies show the opposite of what they do no vaccine efficacy.

That is a lie. A deliberate and brazen lie where you hope the person will not take the time to read the study.

Okay you win.

AI can make mistakes. Quality varies. It should not replace research or critical thinking.

Accuracy depends on the model, the task, and the prompt quality. Your range is suspiciously vague. There isn't a single global "AI accuracy percentage".

AI models don't browse the web by default and pick random sources. They learn patterns from large datasets. They don't always know when they don't know and they may generate plausible-but-wrong answers, but that's a design limitation, not "using bad sources".

Bias is a real research topic, but the jump from "bias exists" to "therefore it's unreliable" is a leap.

"Relying is idiocy" is a big exaggeration. People rely on tools all the time. Blind trust is bad, but total dismissal is equally bad.

Your strangely forceful/emotional position seems to be driven more by skepticism and frustration than balanced analysis. AI is not fully reliable, but it's extremely useful when used a critically. It should complement human thinking, not replace it.

What @T.A. GARDNER is too dumb to understand is that AI and Google search are very good as resource aggregators that a person uses to more rapidly inform or check their opinions.

I gave an example earlier of when I installed my first hard wood floor decades ago. I bought a DIY book and it helped me be BETTER.

AI is like buying that book times 100 in terms of how it could help anyone do that task for the first time.

Terry will reply 'no way, AI makes mistakes' not acknowledging humans make mistake and do moreso if they refuse to the type of sources AI can quickly aggregate for them.

But Terry is stuck on stupid as he points out how each technology we have is not perfect as a way to then suggest it has little to no value. He and I have had versions of this same chat over numerous technologies and his position is always the same.
