It would convince people to elect an orange-haired tyrant who starts a thermonuclear war to avoid being outed as an Epstein accomplice. That makes me wonder, has AI already taken control of our country???
I don't think AI is responsible for Trump being president. The shocking-though-not-surprising election of somebody like Trump, as well as the dysfunction which allowed it to happen, have been predictable and predicted by many of us for a long time. Trump or something like him has been on the bingo card at least since 9-11, and arguably even farther back.
