I wonder if infections do not cause more dementia, but are simply correlated with more. A weaker immune system may trigger many many things.

And similar questions about obesity "causing" many diseases, sunburns causing skin cancer (although that sounds somewhat plausible) etc.

The question to ask is: did those people who got remission do so because of the treatment, because of something else, or despite treatment?

I think it depends what you ask an AI, I've never come across anything offensive on any AI.

What kind of questions trigger it to "shove" right-wing ideology down your throat, is there a short summary of this somewhere?

My guess is there a few German or Japanese competitors in the market as well. And buying American is all well and good until you can get a better machine for less somewhere else.

Is that the same Denmark that tried to push Chat Control 2.0 in the EU?
