If anyone fancies a challenge, I am trying to decipher this handwriting relating to the air crash of a Royal Canadian Air Force Halifax on the Isle of Wight in 1942, but not having a lot of luck.
And Coleman & Herrick's dismantlement of the Robert Capa D-Day story is (I believe) still rejected by Life who prefer a darkroom disaster story that wasn't even possible, but no-one thought to question until 75 years later. petapixel.com/2019/02/16/deb…
For all your essential supplies this #BlackFriday call at the lock-up. If I haven't got it, I'll know someone who has. #DadsArmy
Just days later, on 22 February 1944, Warnes led another operation from RAF Beaulieu, refuelling at RAF Harrowbeer before heading out on a shipping reconnaissance near the Channel Islands.

The recordings leaked to Bloomberg prove that Ukraine is under attack by the Russians on the military front and the American admin on the diplomatic front But someone could no longer stand by and watch the Americans spew lies about the "28 point plan" so they leaked recordings…
Even in the age of Trump, just staggering. Here is Steve Witkoff, an American offical, coaching a Kremlin adviser about how Putin should deal with Trump. “Congratulate the president on this achievement … that he is a man of peace.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

What Jonathan said is spot on. AI produces a lot of garbage when you test it by asking about the German occupation of the Channel Islands.
I asked Grok if Allied soldiers were tsctically superior to the Germans in Normandy... It immediately embraced bias factoids, myth, debunked tropes, crap datasets & relying on Beevor Hastings. Don't trust AI for good history.
