Engaging Life with Courage and Intelligence
There is an interesting parallel between the Achilles Heels of Artificial Intelligence and Democracy. Both can suffer from “bad data.” Since Large Language Models depend on recursively feeding “refined” data back into their models, there is a risk of feeding inaccurate or flawed data into subsequent iterations, thereby losing valuable information.

In 1910, the USA had 400 gasoline-powered automobile companies. By 1940, there were 44, and in 1970, there were 7.
