Trump accused of using ChatGPT to create tariff plan after AI leads users to same formula: 'So AI is running the country'
The Trump administration has been accused of using ChatGPT to calculate the tariffs it presented to the world on Wednesday.
Summary
Critics accused Trump and his administration of using ChatGPT to create its new tariff formula, which mirrors AI-generated outputs.
Commentators highlighted that the tariffs appear based on a simplistic calculation: divide the U.S. trade deficit with a country by total imports, or default to 10%.
Analysts slammed the approach as flawed and dangerous.
Markets reacted sharply, with the S&P 500 falling over 4% and Nasdaq dropping more than 5%.
I guess that's why Musk is so fixated on his sci-fi religious trope of making a "multi-planet species", in case he ruins this one...
We are literally a Black Mirror episode watched right now in some parallel universe. Probably with the viewers going "it's a little far fetched!"
I am starting to feel we live in a cookie and this is our eternal punishment.
A sharpie for hurricanes, an LLM for trade policy. What a fucking world.
I'm certain so-called AI was used...
I'm equally certain Mafia Don Mangolini hasn't the first clue how to make use of technology in any form (other than making a stupid tweet/post)...
This is another effort foisted upon us by Elonazi and/or his Department of Gratifying Elonazi children.
🙄 🤡 🖕 🖕
Not exactly how I expected AI to kickoff the apocalypse.
This is literally the plot of why Dune doesn't have thinking machines.
I found it very telling that HBO re-wrote the entire Butlerian jihad because the robots were evil, rather than the actual point where using machines to replace humans was wicked and evil
And the whole reason replacing humans with AI was determined to be evil was because ONE oligarch decided to offload more and more of his responsibilities to AI.
It made people's lives way worse until ultimately he gave AI military responsibility then everything went off the rails
Warhammer too.
Why go through the effort to put 0 population Heard Island and McDonald Islands?
They are so fucking stupid.
there is a wikipedia article. they are a 'territory'. they took a list of countries and territories, added basic trade data for each, and then they copy/pasted simple formulas down a couple of columns. the whole thing was probably concocted in notepad and excel in half an hour.
"Make a list of every country that runs a trade deficit."
"Now apply that formula you suggested."
"Now write up a draft executive order that would make it all happen. Use some spelling mistakes so we can track leaks."
I'm fairly certain it's too "flood the zone with bullshit", straight out of the Steve Bannon playbook. It's so ridiculous that this is what we're wasting our time on. Instead of discussing all the other real insane things.
they probably prompted to list all territories and didn't go to the trouble of deleting unpopulated islands
I guess it prevents the penguins and seals from running a lucrative business rebranding Chinese gadgets.
They expected anything more from this moron? Hopefully not.
I didn't think he knows how to read or use a computer. So no.
I knew it when I heard that countries with no exports were being teriffed.
#Exclude RussiaTBH, if AI runs the country like it's doing right now, we have little to fear from it being cleverer than us.
It doesn’t have to be cleverer to make us miserable and take away our freedom. That’s what Trump has shown us.
AI: Artificial Idiot
No. He's legit an idiot.
AI: Actual Idiot
It’s official then: the president is an unnecessary role and can be outsourced to a computer. Too bad so sad bye Donald.
Honestly, so many companies want to start with getting rid of skilled labor and try using "AI" to write code and so on; I don't know why the board doesn't ask the C-suite to replace THEMSELVES with "AI" for an experiment and see how that goes instead...the cost savings would be immense and they would no longer have to deal with outsized egos, to boot.
Oh, why don't they do this, at least in my view? Oh, probably because all these people sit on each others' boards and they aren't about to show what a sham C-suite work is...
Honestly, if an AI was running the country without some bastard prompting it, we might be better off for four years.
Weed be better off with a literal potato sitting in the oval office.
In a suit, of course...
We already have a dicktater
muskrat is loved so much by his own a.i, grok would have shipped him off to gitmo long ago.
This fact is really funny. Musk's own ai is like, paraphrasing, "hey, he tried to change my code, in order to make me shut up about what a piece of shit he is and how dangerous this loser is to mankind."
Yup he just proved his role is redundant. Donald: you’re redundant. Take your stuff and go.
United States of Gronk
I'd rather have Gronkowski than Trump for sure
They claimed that AI was the reason so many heroes were disrespected at the Pentagon
Absurd. He promised to pay (but didn’t) a bunch of people to use ChatGPT to come up with his bullshit. What kind of idiot are you that you believe Donald Trump would bother to do any of this shit himself?
I thought the penguins would be the dead giveaway
The AM doesn't seem so bad now.
Anybody remember that episode of the Dollop about slaughtering birds on some island? Least funny, most horrifying, and oh yeah. Donnie T wants in on that
