In the last three weeks, the answers I received from AI modules, especially ChatGPT, are becoming more and more stupid. I can see they are getting more sophisticated and trying to be smart, but drafting a recommendation letter doesn't require super intelligence.

The rapists and war criminals responsible for these atrocities will soon be seen at yoga and meditation retreats in India, or working as security staff at Adelson casinos in Las Vegas.
IDF soldiers raped him so violently until they exploded his intestines & raptured his rectum. He underwent 20 surgical operations, inc. colostomy & urostomy, & is still suffering medical complications.

So the key concern for the war criminal PM is not that Israeli soldiers raped and brutalized a detainee.
But that the info got out.

A U.S. agent tried to flip Nicolás Maduro’s pilot — offering riches if he secretly flew Venezuela’s leader into U.S. custody.
The failed plan, which reads like a Cold War spy novel, shows how far the U.S. has gone to oust Maduro.

US sought to lure Nicolás Maduro’s pilot into betraying the Venezuelan leader
A federal agent had a daring plan: persuade Nicolas Maduro's chief pilot to surreptitiously divert the Venezuelan president’s plane to a place where U.S. authorities could nab the strongman.
