Search Results: make him believe

Ok, so we have farm girl Dorothy Gale and then we have "proper" British girl Alice Liddell. One rolled around in a field of poppies. One indulged in Amanita muscaria. They both proceeded on journeys of self-discovery.

The following summary was entirely worded up by AI:

Dorothy’s discovery: What you need is already within you

Dorothy travels to Oz believing happiness lies somewhere else—“over the rainbow.” By the end, she learns:

Home isn’t just a place; it’s belonging, love, and self-acceptance.

Power was largely an illusion.

Deeper meaning:
Dorothy discovers that external authorities and magical solutions are often false. Growth comes from recognizing the value and strength you already possess. Oz is a lesson in self-reliance and emotional maturity.

Alice’s discovery: The instability of identity and logic

Alice’s journey is less about arriving somewhere and more about questioning everything:

Language doesn’t mean what she expects.

Rules change constantly.

Adults and authority figures are irrational or arbitrary.

Her own size and identity are unstable (“Who in the world am I?”).

Deeper meaning:
Alice discovers that the world—especially the adult world—is often nonsensical, and that logic, identity, and social rules are constructed rather than fixed. Her growth comes from learning to navigate ambiguity without losing herself.

The key difference

Dorothy learns a comforting truth: the world makes sense if you trust yourself.

Alice learns a challenging truth: the world doesn’t make sense, and that’s something you must learn to live with.

Shared revelation

Both stories suggest that childhood journeys into fantasy are really psychological awakenings:

You cannot rely blindly on authority.

Meaning is not handed to you.

Growing up involves learning how to interpret reality on your own terms.

In short:
Dorothy discovers inner wholeness.
Alice discovers existential uncertainty.

Which finally brings me to my question of the day, Who had the biggest trip?

We've all heard the concerns about AI starting WW3 but has AI already become a danger to human life?

At Christmas we had people here get into difficultly during a Christmas swim when ChatGPT gave them the wrong tide times. A dozen of sites would have shown the real tide but it chose to use out dated info.

Yesterday huge numbers of people turned up for a non existent fireworks party billed as the one best NYE partys in the country by AI. Perhaps AI is practising herding people in to tight crowds for an explosion.

Yes I know people are idiots but perhaps AI knows this too. It can get us to vote who it wants, herd us like cattle wherever it wants, make us believe what it wants.

So is AI already taking over without us even knowing
