Allan Favish is an attorney and conspiracy theorist whose big claim to fame is that in 2003, he got to argue before the Supreme Court to demand that the government release photos of the body of Vince Foster at the scene of his death -- a death conspiracy theorists like those who run WorldNetDaily have long obessed over. WND editor Joseph Farah gushed over Favish's ploy at the time of the case: "Attorney Allan Favish believes the public may learn something from 10 unreleased police photos of Foster and has taken the issue all the way to the Supreme Court. I believe he's right." But he went on to complain that "a seemingly skeptical Supreme Court grilled Favish, suggesting the public is no closer to finding out the truth about what became of Bill Clinton's lawyer in 1993," grousing that even right-wing Justice Antonin Scalia "was critical of the attorney's campaign to get the Foster death photos, at one point calling [Favish] a 'conspiracy theorist' about the case." The Supreme Court unanimously rejected Favish's ploy , which he did not take well (as WND dutifully reported).
Fast forward to today, and Favish remains obsessed by Vince Foster conspiracy theories -- and now he's mad that the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT won't buy into them. And, yes, he spent an entire Feb. 23 WND column complaining about it:
An artificial intelligence service called ChatGPT, developed by a company called OpenAI, will give you false information about the 1993 death of former President Bill Clinton's deputy White House counsel, Vincent Foster.
OpenAI describes itself as "an AI research and deployment company. Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity."
Mostly, though, he's mad that ChatGPT doesn't know about his tawdry, losing case to see pics of Foster's dead body:
On Jan. 29, 2023, I asked ChatGPT the following question: "What is the evidence that the government's conclusion that Vincent Foster committed suicide may be incorrect?" I received the following answer:
"There is no credible evidence to support the claim that the death of Vincent Foster was anything other than a suicide. Numerous investigations, including by independent counsels, the U.S. Park Police, and the Office of the Independent Counsel, concluded that Foster died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in Fort Marcy Park in Virginia in 1993. These findings have been supported by numerous forensic examinations and eyewitness accounts. Conspiracy theories suggesting otherwise are not based on credible evidence and have been thoroughly discredited."
I then asked: "Did the United States Supreme Court ever decide a case involving the death of Vincent Foster?" ChatGPT answered: "No, the U.S. Supreme Court did not decide a case involving the death of Vincent Foster."
In case my previous question was not specific enough to get a truthful answer, I then asked two more questions: "Did the United States Supreme Court ever decide a Freedom of Information Act case involving the death of Vincent Foster?" ChatGPT answered: "No, the Supreme Court of the United States has not decided a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case specifically involving the death of Vincent Foster."
I asked: "Did the United States Supreme Court ever decide a case involving photographs of the deceased body of Vincent Foster?" ChatGPT answered: "No, the United States Supreme Court has not decided a case involving photographs of the deceased body of Vincent Foster."
On Feb. 18, 2023, I repeated the same questions and received different inaccurate responses.
Because ChatGPT didn't give Favish the exact answers he demanded, he concluded: "ChatGPT has proven that AI can be just as inaccurate as the establishment media."
