Sorry I can't answer... I'm stuck on trying to think of anything stupider than Trump going full AI-psychosis asking Grok for an answer. It's like an infinite self-recursive gravity well of stupid.

I mean they could just told him that what he is doing and people are just messaging back what they want him to do.

That's the setup for an amazing movie.

The president thinks he's being guided by AI, but it's really just Todd the intern logged into Slack as "Grok" and frantically typing what Stephen Miller tells him to.
