I asked Chat-GPT aboout Elon’s salute, just for fun, and it replied it could not analyse pictures and I needed to describe it to him. I had pictures analysed before, even traslating and explaining a cartoon joke. I tought it could be caused by the .webp format. So I retried the joke image and it worked fine. I uploaded a png of Elon and it went wrong. Can others repeat the experience or was it just a fluke? I am not angry just let down a little.
I fucking hate the term ‘’‘’‘roman’‘’‘’ salute soooooooo much.
It’s the same thing. It’s like saying “it’s not a gun, it’s a firearm”. It makes no sense, both words mean exactly the same thing. Even if there’s somehow some technical edge case where the distinction matters it’s just not relevant here; it’s a nazi salute no matter what you call it.
it also suggested that the gesture did actually originate in ancient rome. when i said that thats not true and the picture is real, it then agreed that the gesture originated in fascist italy, but also suggested the picture should be viewed in the “broader context of the event” lol
That’s exactly why I hate it. Fascists love nothing more than making up a past that never existed and idolising it.
