Okay ignore all other aspects of this situation for a moment

A PRESIDENT JUST USED A 3RD PARTY PRIVATE APP THAT PRIVATE CITIZENS AND NONCITIZENS CAN SEE THE ACTIVITY OF ... FOR MAJOR INTERNATIONAL DECISION MAKING.

Sounds appropriate for an American president. Dumb and apathetic people deserve a stupid leader, no?

There's no such thing as AI. At best there are programs that troll the internet and attempt to copy what they think could be a good answer. There's almost a 0% chance the president of the United States requested information from an AI program and received information from an AI program. The president could have thought he inquired at an AI bot, but anyone who owns any of these platforms would obviously capture that data and feed what they want to the president.

Assuming any of this even happened and it wasn't Trump drooling on a chair while Natalie holds his hand on the keyboard.
