I feel like the only person not tempted to use ChatGPT like it doesn’t even occur to me as an option
Anyway shoutout to the person next to me who just got GPT to do their whole essay. I know you’re in the trenches.
HELLO ??????
legal eagle did a great video on it but the tl;dr is the lawyer couldnt find any cases to support his argument via normal means, so he turned to chat gpt, which he mistakenly assumed was a “super search engine,” to see if it could find anything. and it sure “returned” some cases, which it assured him were definitely real. and now he’s in bigger legal trouble than his client ever was
Spirit: Stallion of The Cimarron & the Indian Boarding Schools/Residential Schools allegory
Holy shit!
Was this intentional?
Considering the rest of the film’s heavy anti-colonization messaging, the main antagonist being heavily modeled on & inspired by General Custer, the other main (human) protagonist being a Native man (& the fort is where Spirit meets Little Creek), yes, most likely
YES. It was 100% intentional. I highly recommend reading up on the making of this film. There was an incredible amount of care that went into the development.
They had Lakota consultants for the project, especially regarding the use of the Lakota language in the film (which is used sparsely, but when used is accurate).
It’s par for the course now to consult people belonging to a culture for projects representing it these days (i.e. Moana, Frozen 2, etc.) but it certainly wasn’t when Spirit came out in 2002.
