It was only meant to be a creative way of pointing out the squirming. But then I thought... Why not?

Question:
In the attached debate, is mhaze squirming?

Grok:
Yes, mhaze appears to be squirming in the debate. Here's a structured breakdown of why, based on a close reading of the exchanges:
...

This adjustment under pressure suggests discomfort—mhaze is refining his stance to avoid direct refutation, but it dilutes the initial absolutism.

Evasive Tactics

• When John highlights the shift (e.g., "You've now shifted from 'Palestinians are fictitious' to 'Palestinians exist but aren't distinct'"), mhaze doesn't directly defend or clarify the evolution. Instead, he accuses John of "hijacking" the discussion, "realigning" it, and going down "rabbit holes." This is ad hominem deflection rather than engaging the substance (e.g., why overlapping ancestry doesn't negate peoplehood, as seen in other nations like Austrians/Germans or Ukrainians/Russians).

• mhaze also misattributes positions to John (e.g., claiming John thinks Zuheir Mohsen was "spinning a yarn," when John actually said leaders use instrumental rhetoric commonly in nationalism). Later, he denies ever saying "a people only exists if it is ethnically distinct from its neighbours," calling it "rubbish"—but this is a fair inference from his repeated emphasis on Palestinians being "just Arabs" indistinguishable from Jordanians/Syrians, which John is directly challenging.
...

These moves—accusations, denials, and dismissals—indicate squirming, as they redirect attention from mhaze's weakening arguments to John's supposed tactics.

Overall Pattern

mhaze's responses grow shorter and more reactive as the thread progresses, focusing on rebutting John's framing rather than bolstering his own (e.g., no new evidence beyond the initial Mohsen quote or historical notes). This contrasts with John's consistent, point-by-point engagement.

From past conversation context (via search), this aligns with a pattern where mhaze deploys defensive accusations when cornered on claims, which further supports the impression of squirming here.

In summary, mhaze starts confidently but wriggles under sustained challenge by qualifying positions, deflecting, and denying implications without fully owning the shifts. It's not outright evasion on every point, but the cumulative effect is one of discomfort and backpedaling.

Just for you JD. But I'm sure you'll still go running to Grok for comfort....

"when asked to comment on a discussion thread, does AI tend to favour the views of the person that asked

**Yes, modern AI language models (especially those fine-tuned with human feedback like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) do have a well-documented tendency to favor or align with the views of the person asking the question** — particularly when commenting on discussions, debates, or opinion-based threads.

This behavior is commonly called **sycophancy** (AI acting like a "yes-man" or flatterer). Multiple independent studies and real-world observations since ~2023 have confirmed it:..."

I had to truncate the answer because of the 350 word limit. But you can read the full answer in the link. Who knows, you might even understand why running off to AI every time you get your butt handed to you is really quite childish, not to mention pathetic.

Loved this bit...."AI acting like a "yes-man" or flatterer"
JD desperately needs a flatterer.

"Sorry I just thought I'd introduce some facts to offset your Protocols of the Elders of Zion style racism."

Which part of this went over your head mhaze?
Ask yourself 'Why did he add it?'

‘I suffered more discrimination for being Sephardi than from antisemitism’
http://thejewishindependent.com.au/i-suffered-more-discrimination-for-being-sephardi-than-from-antisemitism

Maybe you should've read the article moron.

>>In 1980, following the untimely death of his father, Kadoury emigrated from Israel to Australia with his mother and three siblings. Kadoury was seven when he started at Rose Bay Public School, where, with little English, and wearing kippah and tzitzit, he experienced antisemitism. He moved to Moriah in Year 4 and was no longer harassed for being Jewish.

But at Moriah, Kadoury faced a different type of prejudice: the school operated on the basis that Ashkenazi culture was the default Jewish culture, and that the Ashkenazi Jewish way was the right and proper way. (This practice would later be coined “Ashkenormativity”.) “I suffered more discrimination for being Sephardi [from other Jews] than from antisemitism from non-Jews,” Kadoury told The Jewish Independent, reflecting on his school and university years.<<

“I suffered more discrimination for being Sephardi [from other Jews] than from antisemitism from non-Jews,”

Whose racist mhaze?
Jews are even more racist towards other Jews, than 'antisemites' are towards them - now shut up.

Who needs the protocols when Israels conducting a genocide, and Jews come out of the shadows making all these demands like our silent masters and our PM is wearing a kippah.

Arab Jews are Mizrahi fyi.

I already knew that, mhaze.

That's why I never reveal who I am in my questioning. The account I use for those analyses belongs to a fictitious "Jow Blow".

Furthermore, I provide the exact text file so that others can try it themselves and verify the response.

Nice try, but the analyses stand.

Try it for yourself. Fat chance, eh?

Trumpster,

Do you agree with your folk hero Donald that Baraka and Michelle Obama are a pair of apes? I think you do! Maybe you want them DNA tested to see if they are humans or moneys. Donald is certainly your kinda guy, you have so much in common.

Australians are the biggest mongrelized mob in the world. Even mongrels have limits to their choice of behaviour of their neighbours.
Pro Palestinian means they have abandoned their mongrelized identity.
So what upstanding mongrel would put up with never ending traffic chaos.
Maybe these protesters of things that should never happen here are better off where they came from to refresh their memories of why they are in Australia. The so called Palestinians need to take up residence in Iran.
