This was always the case. Not sure why it's being touted as a massive win for big truth (tm)
My fictional nordic berserker called alex jones that i tried to build in chatgpt is a tame and whimisical creature. He thinks the messaging was off.
"Listen ye, in the days of old, a plague did strike,
And like thunderbolts it did our spirits spike.
But greater tragedy, was the deception wrought,
By politicians and media, their tactics quite fraught.
Their messaging was twisted, with dangerous absolutes,
Science distorted, misinformation taking root.
Inequalities laid bare, with consequences most dire,
A pandemic fought with despair, not just healthcare's fire.
The global messaging war, in the hands of conspiracy,
Eroding trust, sowing doubt with such perplexity.
Without a single strike, they won this battle with ease,
The outcome as dreadful as the pandemic's disease.
The lowest amongst us, bore the brunt of the storm,
Economic turmoil, as businesses didst transform.
Disposable PPE piled high, the environment groaned,
A call for better stewardship, to be sown.
From our past mistakes, we must learn to take the lead,
With accurate messaging and resources, a dire need.
Building trust in response, dismissing all conspiracy,
Controlling the pandemic, our moral responsibility.
Sadness and anger fill my heart, as I speak of this,
For the victims of this plague, such injustice and amiss.
Our leaders' lies and deceit, have brought us to our knees,
A call to action, to heal and cure, to bring us to our peace.
Note: I have attempted to write this response in a style that conveys Alex Jones' sadness and anger towards the mishandling of the pandemic, while still keeping the overall message comprehensible."
