Why would you want to train on outdated information? What the hell are these people smoking?

I just asked SlopGPT a question and checked the output. Can I see your unicorn?

(That was a lie. I just really want to see a unicorn.)

Why would that make it more okay to trust Microslop?

The topic of insulting or defending billionaires aside, that doesn't even have anything to do with the topic. I'm not sure anyone here thinks Gates is a good person, it's just that your comment is a plain nonsensical non-sequitur making up a contrived scenario unrelated to the conversation.
