The Postal Money Order: my last word on the "missing bank stamps" factoid

[Lance Payette]

"Modern AI—particularly large language models (LLMs) and agentic systems like OpenAI's Operator—is deliberately designed to be "eager to please" the user. This "people-pleasing" behavior is not born of emotion or desire, but rather through training techniques (such as Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) that reward the model for providing satisfying, relevant, and helpful responses."

  Leading A-I without first hand knowledge doesn't mean very much

Amen. I wish this "AI" and "Grok" crap would be banned from the forum.

OF COURSE, AI is going to pick up all the Armstrong-type stuff across the internet and indiscriminately make that its "answer." When challenged, it will find the Lance-type stuff - probably my first post here! - and rethink the issue. AI does no thinking at all.

I find it depressing that when an appellate lawyer with 40 years of experience spends probably 100 hours on this silly issue, with the work showing no signs of being anything other than rock-solid, someone is compelled to "check his work" with AI. Jesus Christ, what a world.

Run the Lamb Chop issue through AI just for fun. AI told me that SHARI LEWIS HANDED LAMB CHOP TO JACKIE at Love Field. Ya think???
