    Remember in that movie "Catch Me If You Can" how Leonardo DiCaprio didn't know anything about medicine but he fooled everyone into thinking he was a doctor by learning how to talk like them from watching TV? That's basically what AI is doing, and I don't want it prescribing me medicine.

    Rewatched Catch Me If You Can and just found out that the real guy they made the movie about allegedly just made everything up. Does this make him a worse or better con man? Fooling everyone into believing he did that shit actually gives more credence to his claims i think

    There's a meta-issue when you're portraying real life people. How do you know they aren't scamming you about being a master scammer? That's what happened with the CATCH ME IF YOU CAN protagonist. He really wasn't even remotely as good as he appeared in the movie. That was a scam too

    Frank Abagnale faked being a Pan Am pilot in Catch Me If You Can and we called it unbelievable. “Catch Me If You Can: Air Canada Edition” has a pilot accused of flying more than 900 flights over 17 years without a valid licence. 👀 #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/A0EQW4nRkTRK...

    You could never get away with Catch Me If You Can today. You might be able to be the con man Frank Abagnale (and the movie) claimed he was, but you could never get away with making up the story about being a con man whole cloth like Frank Abagnale did.

    This reminds me of the part of Catch Me If You Can where Carl asks Frank how he scammed the Bar exam, and Frank says he didn't, he actually passed it and it's a big emotional turn for Carl to reassess Frank as a character, but in real life Frank Abegnale just simply lied about passing.

    I rewatched Catch Me If You Can for the first time in years last night, and I still think it's basically a perfect movie. The acting, the pacing, the callbacks, the music -- absolutely so wonderful and pleasurable. Comedy and pathos in equal measure.

    FOX IN THE HENHOUSE. In the movie "Catch Me If You Can," Leonardo diCaprio played a high school student who posed as an airline pilot & a doctor. It's a perfect depiction of the Fox Propaganda Network, where performers claim to be journalists, but are nothing of the kind. youtu.be/s-7pyIxz8Qg
