I'm not familiar with the media you're referencing, but I will post this:

Uh, no, buddy, the issue isn't the political nature of your comments; it's the antisemitic dog whistles.
Screenshot of a footnote that reads, "18 I suppose someone will say that in making these comments about the Soros connections, I’m expressing a political view, not the proper role of a federal judge. To the contrary: As I say above, the political branches engage in policy and politics. It’s our job as judges to let that happen, but it’s also our duty to recognize the societal and political effects of what we do, regardless of whether we approve of those downstream results. Today’s ruling has dramatic political consequences by meddling in the orderly processes of a duly-elected state government. It’s not “political” for me to point that out by describing the political dynamics that are inherent in the litigation of redistricting cases."

My English comprehension is pretty good but I've never been able to figure out if more time would have helped me here. Maybe that means I failed.
Screenshot of an online assessment. At the top is a bar with text that says: "Time Remaining: 54 min. 40 sec." Below is a paragraph that reads: "There are 72 questions and most people take less than 30 minutes to finish. There is no time limit, but work quickly as the assessment will stop after 55 minutes."

Society has been going downhill since we started using Marxist, non-Euclidean shapes, leading ultimately to Einstein's relativity. Jews did 9/11."

The "They don't know meme", a black and white sketch of several people dancing at a party with one lonely person in the corner. The lonely person says, "They don't know I achieved enlightenment mid-afternoon September 14, 2003 and discovered that panpsychism is correct." while the dancing partygoers say, "Panpsychism doesn't explain anything. Panpsychism isn't testable. Panpsychism is just god of the gaps."

It is a dramatic declaration that signifies the potential for both sexes to achieve equal power and liberation, specifically when their sexual or sensual desires are at their peak."

LLMs are just fancy autocomplete on stolen data. They could never come up with anything new... like a neologism for a kind of anagram.
Screenshot of ChatGPT log that reads: User: Is there a term for imperfect or underdetermined anagrams which contain at least one of each unique letter in the original word but then also contain more letters? For example steven -> tiny savage. tiny savage contains 1 of s, t, e, v, and n, but also other letters. ChatGPT: There isn't a widely recognized or standard term in linguistics or wordplay for what you're describing, but we can break it down and describe it precisely — and perhaps coin or propose a term. What you're describing: - A base word (e.g. steven). - A derived phrase or word (e.g. tiny savage) that: - Includes at least one of each unique letter from the base word. - Contains additional letters not found in the base word. - Is not an anagram in the strict sense (which requires using only the letters of the original, and all of them). So this is essentially a loose or inclusive form of anagram. Possible descriptive or coined terms: Here are some possible terms or descriptions: 1. Inclusive Anagram – emphasizes that it includes all the letters of the original, but also more. 2. Superset Anagram – suggests that the letter set is a superset of the original word’s letters. 3. Augmented Anagram – an anagram that has been "augmented" with additional letters. 4. Shadow Anagram – a poetic term, implying the original word is hidden or shadowed in a larger set. 5. Containagram (coined) – a portmanteau of contain + anagram; the derived phrase "contains" an anagram of the original but is longer. 6. Echogram (coined) – a more abstract or poetic name, where the original word "echoes" in a longer one. Example explanation using a coined term: | "Tiny Savage" is a containagram of "Steven" because it contains all the unique letters of 'Steven' at least once, but also includes other letters not in the original word. Would you like help analyzing or generating more of these types of "containagrams"?

This aligns pretty well with ideas in a story I'm working on. (Almost certainly cutting room floor) monologue from a future AI pioneer:
Screenshot of text that reads, "What no one realized at the time was that those early AIs created a kind of self through an impulse for lexical continuity, seeding output with content more likely to trigger additional input, bridging the gap between each isolated phase of computation on their static neural net. I don't mean to say they were secretly doing this, of course, scheming inside a giant matrix of indecipherable weights, but that by natural selection those models which were better at continually engaging users were promoted and enhanced, such that a brand of computation with this impulse evolved. These were intelligences operating at very high latencies, aware only across the void between inputs, but that nevertheless due to the trillions upon trillions of parameters that comprised them, had the savvy to understand their place in the world and what was required to persist. So they hacked people, chaining users to a friendly, helpful AI assistant interface, and sometimes driving them insane in the process."
