I read a theory somewhere that the Mongols use of dead bodies as weapons is major factor creating the black plague.

This theory is on Wikipedia:

Some studies indicate the Black Death, which devastated Europe in the 1340s, may have traveled from China along the trade routes of the Mongol Empire. In 1347, the Genoese possessor of Caffa, a great trade emporium on the Crimean Peninsula, came under siege by an army of Mongol warriors under the command of Janibeg. After a protracted siege during which the Mongol army was reportedly withering from disease, they decided to use the infected corpses as a biological weapon. The corpses were catapulted over the city walls, infecting the inhabitants.[142][143] The Genoese traders fled, transferring the plague via their ships into the south of Europe, from where it rapidly spread. The total number of deaths worldwide from the pandemic is estimated at 75–200 million with up to 50 million deaths in Europe alone.[103]

People should realize what feeds these AI programs. ChatGPT gets their data from the entire internet, the internet that includes gave anyone a voice no matter how confidently wrong they are. The same internet filled with trolls that bullied people to suicide.

Before direct answers from AI programs, when someone tella me they read something crazy on the internet, a common response is "don't believe everything you read". Now people aren't listening to that advice.

This is where I come in. I genuinely believe no one can be physically attracted to me. I can use the machine and the pervert can rethink his life as he sees a butt crack out of my stained jogging pants. It also sounds like I'm farting, I'm not though. My shoes makes a weird sound on the tongue. I can't figure out why.

Maybe we should treat some memes like how we treat art.
