This site is for us to share our research with others. "Always verify" makes sense as a precaution, but "Do your own research" just sounds lazy and really isn't helpful.
Not everyone can "monitor the situation" to the degree of rigor that thorough research requires. Many are still waging a daily war of just trying to survive among crippling debt and overwhelming inflation. Some use GAW simply to help filter out the excess noise on X (since most posts here are just reposts of stuff from X anyway).
Please be mindful that many are not as blessed with their free time as you might be.
LLMs are wishy washy and will change their stance based on your responses.
You know there are other uses for them that are extremely helpful, right? Things like: when does Lowe's in (your city) close tonight, do they have xyz in stock (may get bot blocked on that but will answer if they have the product), what are the current TSA wait times for DFW and RIC, etc. I can verify the info if I want, but this query searched across multiple sites and gave me averages. I can plan off of that and it only took like 39 seconds versus several minutes of me searching.
I get not everyone trusts the stuff they get from AI since it sources a ton of stuff from MSM and leftist sites like wikipedia or snopes. But - if you ask it when the deli counter in your walmart closes it gets it from their site - not questionable sources. It's a tool. It does great on stuff like that. It can get bias from other stuff. You can quickly hammer a nail into drywall with a wrench or a hammer. You just have to pick the right tool for the result you want.
Here's the airport question I asked Grok (for example):
Current TSA security wait times (as of Friday, April 3, 2026, mid-afternoon UTC / late morning CDT):DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport)Average standard lane wait: Roughly 15–25 minutes right now (recent aggregator reports show ~19–23 minutes depending on the exact checkpoint and time).
Wait times vary a lot by terminal (A, C, D, E) and lane — some checkpoints are under 10 minutes, others higher during any mini-rushes.
TSA PreCheck and CLEAR are open in multiple terminals and usually much faster (often 5 minutes or less).
Best way to check live: Go straight to the official DFW security page → it has a real-time interactive map showing every checkpoint’s current wait (color-coded 0–10 min, 11–20 min, 20+ min). Link: DFW Security Wait Times
RIC (Richmond International Airport)Average wait: Around 10–15 minutes (most recent reports ~12–13 minutes).
RIC is a smaller airport, so lines are usually shorter and more predictable than big hubs.
Screening checkpoint hours today: 4:00 AM – 8:00 PM.
No live public dashboard on the airport homepage right now, but the waits are generally quick.
Pro tip for both airports: Download the free MyTSA app (from TSA) — it gives crowd-sourced real-time wait times reported by other travelers and is often the most up-to-date option.Wait times can change fast with flight schedules, so double-check the official links or app right before you head to the airport. Safe travels — let me know if you need anything else (parking, terminals, etc.)!
Sure, LLMs can be useful. They're great at analyzing content. I'm not against them on their own.
I'm simply pointing out the flaws they have and cautioning people to 1. Not put too much stock into their responses and 2. Understand that they are heavily influenced by how a person interacts with them.
I mostly object to people making elaborate efforts to "teach"/"nudge"/"train"/"educate"/"steer"/whatever LLMs in order to get the response they want and then run around waving the response they engineered like it was gospel straight from the lips of Jesus Christ.
The fact that people don't comprehend that they're basically telling the LLM exactly what they want to hear and all of it is just elaborate role playing with a chat bot is very concerning to me.
