Person to person, not bot to bot

Wyoming Rep. Barry Crago’s (R-Buffalo) Op-Ed pointing out the Freedom Caucus’s checkered past with respect to property tax reform must have struck a nerve. I had to chuckle reading two recent letters to the editor complaining about Rep. Crago revealing the basic truth: the Freedom Caucus can identify problems but then votes against actually solving them.   

The first letter honestly discloses that the author wrote his letter to the editor “with the help of ChatGPT,” apparently using the filter “folksy vitriol.”  Whether the Cowboy State Daily will continue to run letters from AI bots is unknown. If so, we can dispense with civil public discourse and just let the robots fight it out.
