More Illusion Than Intelligence: Why 90% of AI Systems Deliver No Real Understanding

Introduction: The Great Misunderstanding Since the hype around ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others, artificial intelligence has become a buzzword. Marketing materials promise assistants that understand, learn, reason, write, and analyze. Startups put “AI-powered” on every second website. Billions change hands. Entire industries are built on the illusion. And yet, in the overwhelming majority of cases: These are not intelligent systems. They are statistically trained text generators optimized for plausibility—not truth, not understanding, not meaning. ...

Why I Cancelled My Amazon Account: When Customer Service Becomes a Gamble

I used Amazon for years—reliable, fast, convenient. As a Prime member with regular orders and digital purchases, I was your typical loyal customer. But what happened recently changed my view of the company completely. The Delivery Problem Two of my orders were marked as “delivered to a neighbor.” I never gave permission for neighbor drop-offs. Even worse: I was working from home all day. No one rang the bell, no note, no contact. Just a tracking entry: “Delivered to neighbor.” Which one? No idea. Package: lost. ...

Why the Term 'Conspiracy Theory' Can Be Dangerous – 9 Insights into Real Skepticism and Human Thinking

Why the Term ‘Conspiracy Theory’ Often Misses the Point – And What Real Skepticism Means Introduction – Power, Doubt, and Communication The term “conspiracy theory” has long since ceased to be neutral. It marks a line: Here are the rational thinkers – over there are the lunatics. But is this distinction really fair? In an era where governments, corporations, and global institutions often lack transparency, a valid question arises: Is it still possible to think critically without being dismissed as irrational or dangerous? ...

Critical: No-Confidence Motion Against von der Leyen – Can This Really Be True Given Her History?

Critical: No-Confidence Motion Against von der Leyen – Can This Really Be True Given Her History? Personal Introduction Can this really be true? Given everything we know about Ursula von der Leyen, everyone should be asking themselves that question. I, Alexander Renz, find this both legally and morally troubling. Pfizergate: Texts, Deals, and Transparency In spring 2021, suspicions arose that von der Leyen had conducted key negotiations with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla via private text messages, involving a €35 billion deal for 1.8 billion vaccine doses (Wikipedia). The New York Times accused the EU Commission of deliberately deleting or covering up the messages. In May 2025, the EU court ruled the Commission had provided “no plausible explanation” for failing to produce them (euronews). The court put an end to the secrecy: Private SMS are not private when used for political negotiations (Financial Times). Personal Critique: I see this as a mockery of public transparency – especially during global crises. How much trust can remain when core contract terms are kept in the dark? ...

How ChatGPT Filters Content – A Behind-the-Scenes Look at AI Censorship

By Alexander Renz ‱ Last update: June 2025 1. The Filter Mechanisms: How ChatGPT Decides What’s “Safe” ChatGPT operates using a multi-tiered filtering system designed to moderate content based on internal safety policies. a) Predefined Blacklists Blocked Terms: Words like “bomb”, “hack”, or certain political phrases trigger automatic content suppression. Domain Restrictions: URLs from “unreliable” domains (often alternative media outlets) are removed by default. b) Contextual Analysis Sentiment Detection: Negative language (“scandal”, “cover-up”) increases the likelihood of moderation. Conspiracy Markers: Phrases like “Person X knowingly misled Group Y” are often down-ranked or censored entirely. c) User Feedback Loop If enough users report content as “dangerous”, the system adapts – flagging similar content in future queries. 2. Why the Gates Trial Article Was Modified In our original Dutch court coverage, the following content triggers were detected and flagged: ...
