I have met a ton of greatly exaggerated fears about places

> Oh I could never move to Texas.

> Florida? What about desantis?

The boogieman effect is real here, but I don't know if it causes what Peter says.

Reddit (for example) is filled with human NPCs, who react in predictable ways without intelligence. One predictable trigger is "Texas".

A recent Reddit post discussed something positive about Texas. The replies? Hundreds, maybe thousands, of comments by Redditors, all with no more content than some sneering variant of "Fix your electrical grid first", referring to the harsh winter storm of two years ago that knocked out power to much of the state. It was something to see.

If we can dismiss GPT as "just autocomplete" as many do, I can dismiss all those Redditors in the same way; as NPCs. At least GPT AI can produce useful and interesting output.
