Thank you Barbara. I appreciate the review and comments. It seems the media, the ads for product, and especially politician are very good at it.

Comment from lyenochka
You and I agree about the horrors of conspiracy theories and how awful the impact on our society today. And still, when I think about it, we had those conspiracy theorists in the past but they didn't have the internet to spread it around the world in seconds. Best wishes in the contest!

Thank you Helen. Yes, I remember the conspiracies of the sixties. I can understand their appeal, because you believe you've learned something few people are privy too. It's an ego boost and fun to believe you're part the group that really knows what goes on behind the scenes. I our grew them when they became to absurd to swallow. but maybe social media knows how to make them more palatible. When things like AI is a known reality, people already realize life can be pretty wild in the real world.

You're so good at these short verses, Beth! Love the visual which you've reflected so skilfully in this 8 liner. With a nice element of alliteration, always very pleasing. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Thank you Debbie. It was fun to try to come up with something that would fit into just 8 words.

Comment from Navada
What a cleverly-constructed and profound piece delivered in just eight brief words. I think we all can relate to being deceived by someone and the terrible taste it leaves in your mouth. I really liked the clever inclusion of the visual image as well. Thanks for the share.

Thank you for the review and comments. I think we've all been fooled once or twice and then you're suspicious of anything you hear.

Thank you Dolly. I really appreciate the review and comments. I wish there was a way to know for sure. Like the the little boy who cried wolf, when you catch a person in several obivious lies, you stop believing them, even when they occassionally tell the truth.

Comment from karenina
Would these be the "false facts" or the "alternative truths" we hear so much about...and one side is as loose as the other with the real truth!
It's disturbing. Now we have AI "Bots" creating AI generated images of known cable commentators (We used to call them news-reporters but we burned that bridge a long time ago)-- and having the false images spew out wholly imaginary world events.
Where will it end?
With all of us paying the price?
Great 8 words.
YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH!

I had to go back and look to make sure but this one is duplicate. Both count, so thank you, even though I know you had nothing to do with it. People are always telling me I send them duplicates but then I read a router that is lose sends duplicates. Some think it is a fanstory glitch so who knows?

The server was down last night...
Maybe a glitch?

Thank you Karenina. I think either of those, false facts or alternative truths would work as a perfect sub-title. AI is the most frightening thing I think has very been developed. You know it is going to used by every evil person that exists and I doubt it can ever be controlled.
The world is getting more dangerous by the day. I appreciate the excellent review.

There are a few on site submitting AI generated reviews. It is stunning someone would stoop so low on a writers site! Luckily there are AI "checkers" for free and I've alerted Tom.
-
That is good to know. Where do you get al AI checker? When I first learned about AI, I checked it out and was shocked at what it was capable off. Since then I've steeded as far away as possible. It terrifies me.
-
Type "AI Checker" into Google--
There are several available for free.
I know a lot of professors are (sadly) having yo run their students papers through because AI generated work is becoming an issue.
-
I read about them after you mentioned them. They said unfortunately they aren't acturate and when you run Bible passages through they often show up as aol generated. Students are being accused when they are innocent. I think there should be a law that AI has to put something in to identify what they do. It is scary that we all be accused and there would he no way to prove we didn't use it. They said sometimes you can tell in a long essay the words jam together, but I'll bet students could fix that before turning it in.
Comment from Ulla
Absolutely. I couldn't agree more. I loved the picture. It just says it all, doesn't it?
The world is not a nice place anymore. You can't trust anyone at all. Good luck with this little gem. Ulla:)))

Thanks, Ulla. You are right. The world isn't a nice place any more. The news as well as the ads for products on TV are likely to be filled with lies and half truths. I appreciate another review.
