I’ve had multiple discussions with people, typical western liberals, where they heavily relied on Chat GPT for their arguments and information.
I was explaining my perspective on Iran to someone who said they support a regime change operation there by the US. I told them about how the protests started peacefully, until a sudden coordinated mob created destruction and violence, and how the riots ended after the starlink tech was shut down by the Iranian government.
They told me my argument doesn’t hold water because they GPT’d it and it said everything I said was wrong. Is it just a lost cause to try and explain further at that point, or is there a way to break people away from LLM-ism?
Set boundaries. Don’t lash out on them and remain composed. Debunk their claims using verifiable facts. Interrogate them when you see an opening to strike, don’t let them deviate away from your question.
Western journalist are a good example to study in how they compose their interviews. They are loud and aggressive, they ask questions for the sake of making a point, they don’t care for your answer, they just want to use you as a springboard to confirm their own suspicions, they want to humiliate you and boost their own Pride.
What you use to combat that is confidence, study instead of reacting, prepare yourself. Use silence as a display of humility and grace, make every word you say strike like a powerful blow of a hammer.
Most importantly remember to never fight alone, make allies, fight for the sake of something you love, don’t fight for the sake of fighting.
Edit: I make spelling mistake :(
