I personally do not believe this page is the work of even effectively fact checked by any sort of AI, this is the sort of sloppy writing and reaching you get when you let an edgey shitlord write about politics and tell them they can say whatever they want as long as they cite a source.

The sourch for this is the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum page, which explains this was a thing that happened in 1919, but among many, many other events - such as the birth of Anne Frank.

It also does this really vile thing where it will use footnotes as evidence, but review of the footnote shows they've taken massive liberties with the context and significance.
For example, they claim that the "Stab-In-The-Back" theory was a major driver for perceiving jews as military threat.
For example, they claim that the "Stab-In-The-Back" theory was a major driver for perceiving jews as military threat.
![A primary perceived military threat stemmed from the "stab-in-the-back" legend, which attributed Germany's WWI defeat not to battlefield losses but to betrayal by Jewish-led revolutionaries and socialists who undermined the home front. Promulgated by military leaders like Paul von Hindenburg in a November 1919 parliamentary testimony, the myth highlighted events such as the November Revolution, where Jewish figures like Kurt Eisner (who declared the Bavarian Soviet Republic in 1918) and Rosa Luxemburg (co-founder of the Spartacist League) played prominent roles in strikes and uprisings that forced the armistice.[83] Nazis amplified this narrative, arguing that Jewish disloyalty—exemplified by over 12,000 German Jews serving in the army yet allegedly prioritizing internationalist agendas—had sabotaged the war effort, fostering a belief that unchecked Jewish influence posed recurring risks to national defense.[84]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hibx2u4ltsnhovoqvwfygtoi/bafkreiftkzngxti4cv6vhp4qkc3vx5w45ka36mm5i22toca6zoyihv52pq@jpeg)

So yes, naturally the next step was to check what the page on the Nazi Party is like... and oh boy, it has whole sections dedicated to trying exhonerate them and mitigate the realities of the atrocities.

Aside from the fact its weird there's a section for "Scientific and intellectual contributions" it's even weirder to have a paragraph about IQ tests under "contributions".
But "Grok" really wants it to stay in there.

Simply put is that your point is that you don't understand art, you don't understand human communication and you'd give people terrible advice regarding presentations.

5. Even if you do choose clip art to fill as space with a net zero action, this at least has some personal charm to it as it shows the audience something you picked to be consistent with your mood etc, not something a machine spat out in response to an unknown prompt.

3. Negative space is, in fact, often desirable in your Powerpoint slides as it mitigates distraction and can put more emphasis on the content
4. So any imagery included must be chosen not just to "fill a space" but enhance the presentation more than use of negative space would

You say this as though:
1. The art market is a meritocracy and many equally talented artists do not end licensing their works for hanging in generic hotels.
2. That people want something great even in average environments is why people buy prints of old master artworks, use them as backgrounds, etc
