That's basically what AI is doing, and I don't want it prescribing me medicine.

positive · AI labelView post →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

neutral · AI labelView post →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

neutral · AI labelView post →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.

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
