    I genuinely think ChatGPT would do a better job.
    This is not an endorsement but a criticism.

      Please take my endorsement of your criticism.

    My initial response was “JFC!!!” but given the gap between thinking that and starting to type, I realized “of course they’d do this” was the correct reaction.

    Maybe they can get a couple of chatbots and a rural PTA member into a Signal group chat this time.

      Man, watching them try to figure out what the fuck is going on and who’s even real could be entertaining for a bit.

      Idiots in my company have started selling AI-generated predictions to government agencies. They admit they have no idea what the AI does.

        Gives the government “we didn’t know:” cover.

    Eh, why fault technology when those people are just children that don’t know anything about running things but they’re deeply convinced they do. Trump is a narcissist with ADHD, doing this kind of scatterbrained but opinionated stuff is very on brand. I sympathise with the condition because I’m similar.

    If anything more people should be pointing and ridiculing the formula that was used to derive tariff rates. They padded it with redundant calculation of 4x0.25 hidden away by Greek letters to make it look like something even worth writing down.

    I’ll say. I’d have expected him to be using Grok, not ChatGPT.

      I hear that grok had been pretty cool, criticizing musk & calling out nazis. Is this still true?

        I honestly have no idea. The one time I tried asking it a question, it asked me to log into my X account, which is about as far as I got.

      You don’t need Chat GPT for that simple algorithm. The prompt is the algorithm. Seems to me that the journalist sexed up the story by shoe-horning an AI reference into it.
