Alex I found your writing after your first appearance on Tucker, early covid hysteria days. Pandemia was a breath of fresh air and logic in a hurricane of fear and lies. Living in Portland was (and is) insane. I’ve been a subscriber ever since and this post today affirms to me why there is value in what you share. I don’t agree with you on everything but you bring fascinating points to the forefront and stand by your convictions. I’m not a fan of AI so this post rang especially true

Thanks Alex. Appreciate your honesty. That’s why most of us are here anyway. Good solid and honest journalism should always win.

Yup...please don't fill my email with "crap." The reason I still get excited when you pop into my inbox is because I KNOW it will be something of substance.

I usually don't bother to comment but I read every one of your articles.

Thanks Alex - I trust you to shoot straight and appreciate your integrity...even on the rare occasion when I disagree.

AI will probably get better, but right now it is the literary equivalent of a liverwurst sandwich. Thank you for not serving me liverwurst.

But wait a minute. I like liverwurst. :)

He hasn't visited Grok.com-If he doesn't have a new definition of liverwurst, he may be assigned to the coal mines, rather than the fields. Just kidding?

To be clear, not AI liverwurst.

Pretty easy to sniff out, especially when it lacks human emotion such as empathy.

Alex, whether I agree with you or not (and I mostly agree), I appreciate your opinion and perspective. I signed up to your Substack after buying your Unreported Truths booklets and as soon as you got banned from Twitter. I'm glad you are keeping true to your integrity.

I agree. I'm proud of mine. He's got some scars to prove he's in the war for sanity in an insane world.

Good to hear, Alex. I have not found AI to be trustworthy, regardless of which AI engine one is using. ChatGPT, Grok often just regurgitate what the engines see the most; they miss details, and often make up citations—certainly that happens in the legal field and judges have taken attorneys to task. I used to believe that AI could summarize defined items well, but lately I’ve seen examples where even that is not accurate. Glad to hear you verify before you print as well. I may not always agree with your opinions/takes, but it appears to me that you come to your conclusions honestly.

I have used AI to write a compelling advertisement for items I've listed on E-bay. AI makes my "trash" sound like a "treasure."

Ah, thanks for the heads up. We’ll keep an eye out for those listings.

Thanks for posting this, Alex. Because I think what you do is one of your passions, one of your life's missions, if you will, I never thought that you would use AI to write a column for you. I fully support your work, and appreciate what you do, have done, and will continue to do for us!

AI can’t write as well even as I, even with prompts—& obviously can’t approach your ability to craft compelling prose, Alex.

Give Grok.com a try, Jimmy. He approaches Alex's ability.

As an Elon #fanboi, Grok has long been my go-to AI! I have a Premium+ subscription. ;-)

Thank you. I greatly appreciate your impulse to just write as much as you want WHEN you want. (If only papers, etc, did that, we'd have a lot less junk.) Keep up your excellent decisions.

I have been a follower and subscribed to your substack from the beginning. I honor your work and writings. I am very discretionary in the people I choose to follow and financially support. I find the AI versions both frightening and are another step in fulfilling Orwell's warnings. I agree with your position of honesty and true critical thinking. Kudos and as a community of critical thinkers you give us hope.
