    I took the time to look up the Soros essay, identify the quote to gather context, and craft a thoughtful response. GPTs are a tool—some use them to replace thinking, but the wise use them to enhance it. I stand by every word I wrote.

    Your response, on the other hand, dismisses an argument you didn’t even bother to engage with. Instead of refuting my points, you crafted a strawman to wave away the discussion entirely. That speaks volumes—not about AI, but about you.

    I didn’t use any AI to write this reply. But something tells me that doesn’t matter to you in the slightest.

      ChatGTP is shit.
      It is wildly unreliable at best and often straight up lying and giving misinformation.
      The irony that you call yourself wise for using it. LOL
      I did waste precious seconds reading the first lines before I noticed your cheap trickery.
      If I recall it mentioned context, as you do this time.

      A little story about ‘context’ and factcheckers.
      Probably ShitGPT got the mustard there.
      I almost didn’t believe the appauling Soros quote the first time it got mentioned to me so I factchecked, since I’m wise.
      One of the results was from one of those respectable, totally unbiased don’t fall for Ruzzia propaganda! factcheckers.

      Title:“Did Soros say this? Answer: no”
      When you read the rest of this garbage they mention in fact that he did literally say this but “we have to look at the context and then we have to say he didn’t”.
      Which is sometimes a valid argument.
      Only problem, there was zero context to misunderstand or interpret this. So basically another lie to cover their first lie.
      But anyway enough about this quote. There’s plenty of evidence for decades the US wanted this to happen. But something tells me that doesn’t matter to you in the slightest.

        Ah, the classic approach: dismiss, insult, deflect, and avoid any actual debate. Instead of engaging with the content, you ridicule the tool I used to refine my response—conveniently ignoring that I did my own research before ever consulting it. You also claim to value context while simultaneously insisting that a single sentence in a decades-old essay should be taken as gospel without any consideration for its broader meaning or intent."

        “Your ‘fact-checker anecdote’ is particularly amusing, since it ironically proves my point. Context is precisely what separates informed discussion from cherry-picked outrage. But of course, why wrestle with complexity when you can just claim ‘there’s plenty of evidence’ without citing a single source? That’s not wisdom—it’s just lazy.”

        "And yes, something does tell me that none of this will matter to you in the slightest. But at least I have the courtesy of engaging with ideas instead of hiding behind sneering dismissals. Enjoy the illusion of superiority—it’s the only argument you seem interested in making.

          Now you want to gaslight me for not wanting to debate ShitGTP?
          You sure have some nerve.

          a single sentence in a decades-old essay should be taken as gospel without any consideration for its broader meaning or intent.

          And there we go, you believe the context excuse while I said THERE IS NO CONTEXT.
          Nothing in that document negates that statement. If there is something that shows that part can be misinterpreted then YOU prove it.

          As I said there’s plenty of proof the US/west is was involved, from the funding decades ago and the failed orange revolution to the nazi coup that the west claim as peaceful while they clearly used arms and extreme violence.
          It is also proven it was the regime changers who shot at protesters to escalate violence.
          OC that is years later and the dammage is done, the MSM won’t report those things anyway.
          I bet you also missed that in your ‘research’.
          And I bet you also missed the leaked call where the US is deciding who should run that totally independent democratic country.
          Or the west training and arming nazis to prepare for the war.
          This while the Minsk agreements were in effect but admitted by Merkel they never ment to honor them.

          There’s plenty of things, maybe look further than the US regime echo-chamber.
