buddy related to him that when Christopher
Hitchens buddys sensei
was asked what made him happy he replied that he enjoyed observing the misery
of other people
he agreed it was accurate common sense
but buddy often ran afoul of the facts
he had no choice but to vet his remark
he Googled Hitchens’ quote about observing the misery
of other people
AI Overview replied
“Christopher
Hitchens did not have a famous, widely cited quote advocating for
watching the misery of others. Instead, he made several observations about the
nature of misery, teasing, and the duty
to intervene in, rather than observe, injustice.”
Tsk tsk tsk AI
thats not what he
sought
digging a little deeper
confirmed for him that he would ignore Googles
AI Overview Gemini that appears at the top of the page as earlier
he ignored Wikipedia before it was elbowed out of the top spot
digging
he found Hitchens tongue-in-cheek ironic
sarcastic reply when asked what cheered him up
“I suppose mainly gloating over the
misfortunes of other people. Yes, I guess that has to be it. Mainly, crowing
over the misery of others. It doesn’t always work, but it never completely
fails.”
witty
he agreed
