Its near "super intelligence" "replacing professionals" in the PR rounds, then once everyone is convinced and uses them for legal and medical advice, following the deceptive marketing, they slip it in the terms of service that you shouldn't do that.

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The Trump administration has approached <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/yemen" target="_blank">Yemen’s</a> internationally recognised government (IRG) in Aden about potentially contributing to the "international stabilisation force" being assembled for Gaza, AFP reported on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The report cited a source at the presidential council, a Yemeni diplomat, and a senior military official, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity. </p>
<p>The military official said Yemen's "participation in the international force has been discussed with the Americans, but we have not yet received an official request", according to AFP. </p>
<p>The IRG has little power within the country despite being represented at the United Nations and having an ambassador in Washington. It was kicked out of the capital, Sanaa, by Houthi rebels over 12 years ago.</p>
<p>The Houthis have since retained control over most of Yemen, and have been a target of air strikes by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, and the US. </p>
