Fox News host concerned after ‘opinionated’ artificial intelligence ‘denounces the Nazis’
Fox News host Howard Kurtz expressed alarm on Sunday at an artificial intelligence system that can imitate the style of Fox News hosts and also denounces Nazis.
On his Christmas day program, Kurtz aired an interview with Fox News host Steve Hilton about OpenAI’s
ChatGPT experiment that allows internet users to converse with artificial intelligence.
Hilton explained that he had used the system to write a monologue for his show.
“Where this will go will just be an extraordinary change, a real revolution,” Hilton promised.
“Both exciting and unnerving,” Kurtz said. “It’s also opinionated. If you ask it a question about Nazis, it denounces the Nazis! So where is AI going?”

House Republicans will fail to convince the public that federal scrutiny of Donald Trump is unwarranted, according to former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance.
Incoming House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio and other Republican lawmakers have suggested that they will pursue aggressive investigations of the FBI.
“We’ve been looking at a Church-style committee to look at this,” Jordan said during a recent interview, referring to a Senate select committee that was convened in the 1970s to investigate abuses of power by intelligence agencies.
But Vance suggested during an MSNBC appearance on Sunday that the upcoming investigations would do little to distract from Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
“Good luck with that,” she said.
“If the goal here is to engage in some sort of a political statement making process trying to tag the FBI with failures for whatever reason, whether that be claims of bias during the investigation or claims of failure of inaction ahead of the January 6 insurrection, you know certainly there will be issues, as there always are. Law enforcement can always learn, there are always after-action reports that help us do our job better the next time.”
“But ultimately the American people I think have now been activated to appreciate the fact that blame is, as the committee says, for what that happened on January 6 rests with Donald Trump. Without him, none of this would have happened. This happened because the former president was a sore loser,” Vance said.
“So for this new House led by Republicans to come in and try to cast blame elsewhere, I think it’s a strategy that may be a nuisance in the short term but that will backfire on them in the long term because Americans are smart and now that we have the information that we can use in front of us — a majority of us will see the truth here.”

Russian state-funded media played clips of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Fox News host Tucker Carlson because the conservative personalities oppose additional U.S. aid for Ukraine.
Russian Media Monitor translated Moscow’s video coverage of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent visit to the United States.
Like many conservatives in the U.S., Russian state television criticized the leader for wearing “a sweater and cargo pants.”
“I didn’t go to the speech because I didn’t want to be part of a photo op,” Hawley said in a video clip included in the report.
A Russian correspondent noted that 86 Republicans refused to attend Zelenskyy’s speech.
The Russian media report also included a clip of Carson mocking the speech.
“They clap like seals,” Carlson opined. “So, no matter what the man in cargo pants said, ‘Send more money. I command you! Send me more money!'”
The correspondent referred to Boebert and Gaetz as “brave” for attending the speech despite objections to military aid.
“Gaetz and Boebert didn’t chap the palms of their hands [clapping],” the reporter observed. “They demonstrably remained seated and didn’t jump up.”
The report concluded with a clip of Boebert.
“Until Congress receives a full audit on where our money has already gone, I will not support sending additional money to this war,” she said.

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert narrowly won her reelection bid against Democrat Adam Frisch this year in an unexpectedly tight race in a Colorado district that was believed to be solidly Republican.
Now, one of her constituents has penned a letter to the editor, published December 25 in the Durango Herald, in which the controversial congresswoman is harshly criticized for her behavior surrounding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the United States.
Boebert, along with fellow GOP congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida, refused to stand or applaud during Zelensky’s address to Congress, according to multiple reports.
The Colorado congresswoman has also been critical of U.S. aid to Ukraine as it battles against a Russian invasion.
“Mitch McConnell said that sending funds to Ukraine ‘is the number one priority for the United States right now.’ Funny, I thought he was a Senator from the great state of Kentucky. Last I checked, Kentucky was in America,” Boebert wrote on Twitter.
According to her constituent, Boebert’s behavior has “once again embarrassed her 3rd Congressional District constituents and the entire country.“
“They are among a small group of far-right house members opposed to any future aid to Ukraine and are demanding a ‘full investigation’ into the aid already sent to help the war-torn country survive,” the constituent, Carol, continued.
“It’s clear that Boebert does not understand the importance of defending democracy in our world and does not care about the wishes of her constituents. She is clearly on the wrong side of history. Will she never learn?”
