I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but to me, sharing a screenshot of chatbot output to make a point of some kind is an excellent way to undermine any credibility that might otherwise be granted to you in the context of whatever you're trying to say.

“If a married woman hasn’t paid $130 to update her passport —assuming she has one, which only about half of Americans do— she may not be able to vote in the next election if the SAVE Act becomes law,” @wendyweiser.bsky.social tells Glamour

The bill would make it harder for women, people of color, young voters, and other marginalized groups to register to vote.

One thing I really wish more journalists would repeat like parrots when discussing birthright citizenship is that, unless you're naturalized (and a few other exceptions), that is how you got your citizenship.
Even if your family goes back to the Mayflower, you got it that way.
