Only a child would be so unfamiliar with history as to make a claim like that.

That is why they're doing it. They're looking for pretexts to reduce headcount. They don't give a s** if the positive is false or not.

Nonsense. As though LLMs could imagine what would be in that sweet spot of surprising-but-not-senseless and intentionally avoid it.

How anyone could seriously doubt that the answer is 'yes' is beyond me. I mean aside from people who just don't fly much.

Little on offer but cults these days. Take your pick. You probably already did long ago and now your own cult is the only one you'll never clock as such.
