ChatGPT just can’t stop delivering.

“The claim that Novgorod was the capital of Rus’ is not supported by historical evidence. Moscow has been known to promote narratives that enhance its historical significance, but in the case of Novgorod, historical records consistently identify Kiev as the primary capital of Kievan Rus’, the early Slavic state from which Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus trace their cultural origins. Novgorod was indeed a significant medieval city and a major political and economic center, but it was never the capital of Kievan Rus’. The notion that Novgorod might have been presented as a capital in a disinformation campaign by Moscow lacks substantial evidence and is not commonly supported in historical scholarship.”

I wish it learned that Belarus does not in fact mean “white r*ssia.” Unfortunately, Belarusians aren’t very interested in protecting their history and never wrote a single article explaining how manipulative this foul narrative is.

Maybe it just caters to my expectations to foster me into an obedient AI slave? I don’t mind.

Ask it if the story of Novgorod once being the capital of Rus’ was a disinformation campaign from Moscow. Let me know if it provides you with a different answer.
