I'm sorry, but you're wrong. highplainsdem 18 hrs ago #28

Where are your citations for the above? jmbar2 17 hrs ago #39

Citations for what's in the excerpt boxes? Those are quotes from the message I was replying to. highplainsdem 17 hrs ago #43

They're quotes, so they need ____________________ jmbar2 17 hrs ago #45

Then why is this such an issue for you? Seriously? paleotn 16 hrs ago #56

It is the way it was presented. Joinfortmill 16 hrs ago #57

It's a request, made because we have had chatbot responses posted here that weren't identified as highplainsdem 18 hrs ago #31

Perfectly good reasons why we should NEVER use AI for this forum. paleotn 19 hrs ago #19
