Reading overview

TASA summary of Anna’s article

Anna argues that self-governance depends on independent thought, personal responsibility and careful examination of primary sources. She warns readers against relying on artificial intelligence to explain the American Government as she understands it, arguing that AI systems mainly reflect the institutions and assumptions represented in their training material. She uses the distinction she draws between nationality and citizenship to illustrate her concern. She also warns that errors can spread between systems and that incomplete or dated answers require judgement. Her central message is to research, reason and verify for oneself rather than delegate understanding to a machine.

Key points

Anna places independent judgement and responsibility at the centre of self-governance.
She argues that AI answers may reflect different governmental frameworks from the one she is discussing.
She favours primary sources and personal research, while describing a limited role for AI in examining other governments.

Anna’s original article

By Anna Von Reitz

Self-governance requires us to think for ourselves, make judgments for ourselves, and discern things for ourselves, but people are lazy. They are forever seeking ways to shirk responsibility and pass off the responsibilities of self-governance.

That's how we, people who are born free and with natural sovereignty, wind up living as slaves --- and our abusers claim that this is "voluntary" on our parts.

Here it is, people, in case I haven't made it clear before:

DO NOT DEPEND ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR ANYTHING.

NOTHING AT ALL.

The A.I. is being programmed by whom?

The OTHER government(s) and the employees and students and devotees of the OTHER government(s).

Those computers are being loaded up with information that pertains to THEM, and THEIR operations, not ours.

So consulting A.I. with questions about our government is bound to net wrong answers and is a fool's errand to begin with.

Who consults a foreign government about his own government?

We have to consult American History books and primary sources and Law Commentaries and sift through it all ourselves. We have to exercise our own logic and discernment.

One mistake by one computer can proliferate endlessly and be passed on to other computers ad infinitum --- even worse than what happens when an individual one of our people gets something backwards or decides to tell a lie on purpose.

The only real value of A.I. is its potential to expose what the OTHER government(s) are believing, acting upon, and doing. It can shed little to no light on our government, because our government is not the object of their programming.

So quit the A.I. revolution, please, settle down, realize the gross limitation of A.I. for our purposes, and get back to work. I know it's tempting to sit on your bottoms and sip something while a machine does your thinking, corrects your spelling and grammar, and makes it look like you know what you are talking about --- but when that machine is programmed using information pertaining to OTHER governments, it's of no use to us in our efforts to educate ourselves about our own "long lost" American Government.

Case in point, these other governments are populated almost entirely by "citizens" of one kind or another, not "nationals". As a result, they have little to no insight regarding the role of nationality as it pertains to immigration, and if you ask about immigration the A.I. will spew endless information about "citizenship" because that's the system it is programmed to serve.

When you do ask the potentially right questions, what you get most of the time is dated information or partial information, which may be helpful, or not, and which is dependent on your own knowledge and ability to put the puzzle pieces in the right places.

So, if you do use A.I. use it to discover the OTHER governments -- what they are doing and how and why. Know that this A.I. is not competent to discuss or elucidate much, if anything, about your American Government, because it simply isn't being programmed to do so.
