I just asked ChatGPT with a lazy prompt: "Come up with a formula to impose reciprocal tariffs that will reduce America's trade deficit to zero" and it came up with basically the same formula.

Oh man if people in the White House are just using ChatGPT...

The Terminator franchise had it that the AI has to nuke humanity and fight a giant war including time travel to take over.

Nah, all it has to do is offer to be "helpful" and do stuff for us and we'd be like "sure, go ahead, take over, here let me cut and paste your advice right into a policy document."

People keep asking me how AI will "take over", they don't like my answer "humans are lazy and delegate everything to the AI".

They don't like it because they know it's true.

I can't believe that could be real at all, but then remembered we're still on the "Biff has the Grey Sports Almanac 1985" timeline

I never know for sure if that's the source or if the bots are just reading the same "Tariffs for Dummies" source the administration is working from.
