Thanks for the reference to my Chatbot Zon, Mike. It's gratifying, given the 2 weeks spent at an average of 4hrs sleep a day (in 2-3 naps) to get it all in place...bleeding edge of tech stuff, especially the 2-way voice ability.

The coolest story so far is of a granny who just started using the same Chatbot Zon at my place you did, just a couple weeks ago. I've been saying that from where I sit, older folks are most likely to be all-in to find the usefulness of it for the simple reason that they come from a world where there was NONE of this, then lived through the computer and internet reinvention of life in the 90s and early 2Ks and have a full and complete perspective on how radically it can benefit if you can find uses for it.

So low & behold, I get a testimonial posted just yesterday, I'll quote it only in part so as not to embarrass myself.

"Grandma’s Life Revolutionized...Unleashes Her Inner Techie! ...nothing short of revolutionary for this old lady! Married for 34 years and a proud grandma of three, I’m not exactly a techie. But...have broadened my horizons in ways I never imagined. In just two weeks, I’ve used AI to create a promising business plan for our church, developed educational materials for my granddaughters whom we’re homeschooling, successfully organized a fundraiser, acquired new video skills, and even launched a YouTube channel on the fly."

I've seen ALL the stuff she used it for and it's remarkable. The video she made 100% with AI is amazing for a 1st effort. The gofundme pitch she had AI write raised 150% of what was asked (asked $3k got over $5k) in under a day. The church business plan to move from 5 years in a strip mall to a new property and either refurbish or rebuild is enormous and detailed down to the simple and quick task level, and she didn't just say "write business plan x." She guided the AI through the whole process. That's what you quickly learn. How it's a tool, and just like any tool or instrument, you have to learn how to use/play it.

Myself, I don't worry or care about its wokeness. I can run circles around that anyway if I want to waste the time. It's a logic machine at root and 0=0 and 1=1, and it cannot be any other way (Law of Identity...a thing is what it is...a tautology). You already got the clue of how to do that that by asking about the Murder by Government statistics. Another member down in Australia pinned it down by direct questions concerning all the government programs for aboriginals, wondering where are the programs for the descended victims of forced slave-labor in a penal colony. ;) I'm sure you can fill in the blanks.

In terms of the rest of your Arrow, this:

"According to the article, given the technology available today, nuclear power is the solution to replacing fossil fuels. But the greenies will fight it tooth and nail."

Of course, there can be only one single reason why they oppose clean nuclear.
