Former Republican congressman Justin Amash cut through the noise on X, writing “If anyone else wrote something like this, it would be universally acknowledged that the person is mentally unstable.”

UPDATE: Here is the specific prompt I used, as requested by some readers: “Please assess this message to see what it reveals as a psychological profile of the writer.”

Remarkably, despite different architectures, training data, and corporate origins, all three systems reached the same diagnosis: This isn’t normal political communication. This is defensive grandiosity written by someone who experiences criticism as existential threat.
