#2> We asked AI to find the conflict's biggest boosters in Washington
I suppose it's a substitute for doing your own reading. The answer turns out to be exactly the organizations you'd expect. "Think tank" is an odd euphemism for "private propaganda organization"; they don't do a great deal of thinking, mostly marketing bad ideas to gullible politicians.

#3Separate from the content of the article, it’s a sad day when journalists now seem to tacitly acknowledge that their articles are essentially “I asked AI a question and here’s what it told me.”
Is this the future?

#4There’s very little actual analysis in this post, which I found disappointing: half of it is explaining what LLMs found, and the other half is (seemingly) catty think tank[1] behavior (our experts versus their “experts.”)
You don’t need an LLM to know that AEI and FDD are hawkish and pro-Israel, they have over 20 years of public track record that the Quincy Institute should be citing directly (and ideally drawing novel conclusions from).

#5I already pointed this out 3 month ago[1].
The 'CEO' of the FDD recently demanded the assassination of Iranian negotiators in case they to not accept all demand of the Americans/Israelis[2] (i.e. surrender).
That's why it is so important for every country that wants to be sovereign to implement effective foreign agent laws.
