ChatGPT presidency indeed. It's the perfect metaphor! From the TechDirt article:

The hallmarks of AI generation are all here:

- Confident assertions without factual backing
- Meandering diversions that maintain loose semantic connection to the topic
- Pattern-matching to previous responses (“ripped off,” “billions of dollars”)
- Optimization for what sounds good rather than what’s true

Just as an LLM will confidently generate plausible-sounding text without any real understanding, Trump generates responses that sound like answers while avoiding any engagement with the actual substance of the questions.

He doesn’t answer the actual questions. He doesn’t address the actual points. He doesn’t understand what’s actually going on, so he crafts a rambling nonsensical answer based loosely on the question, while following the system prompt’s instructions to make sure the answer makes himself look good.
