What do you mean “as always”… That sounds like ai generated nonsense.

This is where ai currently falls down. It can’t do new analysis.

It's because I have constantly seen that misinterpretation. People seem to think that if I say "X is true" or "X is possible" then I'm saying "I find X desirable". This is a weird non sequitur and seems to be closely related to wishful thinking, that is the non sequitur of thinking that something is true because its truth would be desirable.
