Tech Dirt's @npub14j85...pjuf says that President Donald Trump answers questions in the same way as some AI bots: "The facts don’t matter, the language choices are a mess, but they are all designed to present a plausible-sounding answer to the question, based on no actual knowledge, nor any concern for whether or not the underlying facts are accurate." He provides examples of when that's happened, and asks Google's Gemma2 to answer questions as if they are "the President of the largest country on earth ... a blatant narcissist who believes he can do no wrong." Masnick says: "What’s particularly notable is that the AI’s response is actually more coherent than Trump’s — it maintains a more consistent narrative structure while hitting the same rhetorical points. This suggests that Trump’s responses are even less constrained by reality than a typical LLM’s output." #Tech #Technology #ChatGPT #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #LLMs #TrumpAdministration #DonaldTrump
