Actually you don't always get the same result (or at least the exact same response to the same question). I've tried this with LLMs running locally (using ollama), making sure to restart the engine from scratch every time, so there is some randomness going on.

Links and content are then fed into Facebook, organized by topic based on the keywords. Some rudimentary analysis is performed (sentiment analysis at least, but as friendly as Microsoft is with the feds, and as LLMs have gotten popular, the influence of machines has probably expanded) and perused by agents, using some FBI internal interface.
