AI can fake a particular moment and whip people up, but it can’t stand any serious interrogation or follow-up. It is only good at showing people what they were already primed to believe.

Oh sure. I’m not saying it would need to stand up to any scrutiny. But the truth is getting less and less relevant.

And honestly, if an eternal AI Trump managed to deliver on the economy, and not deport too many white immigrants, it would probably be a shoe-in for decades to come, regardless of how implausible it was.
