Wow, so a friend asked ChatGPT how the phrase "conspiracy theory" was developed, and it gave a very 4chan/Q-adjacent response. I found the AP article that referenced the NYT 1863 reference, but on digging deeper, it was clear that their author hadn't read the source the linked to either.

So I found that source (a response to the letter that the AP lazily linked to), but then asked Bard for the origins of the term.

Holy shit, we're doomed. Expensive generators of obfuscated bullshit.
