Internet users and experts are accusing the Trump administration of using ChatGPT to determine the percentages in the tariff plan he presented during the "Make America Wealthy" event on Wednesday.

The theory was first floated by Destiny, a popular political commentator. He accused the administration of using ChatGPT to calculate the tariffs the U.S. is charged by other countries, "which is why the tariffs make absolutely no fucking sense."

"They're simply dividing the trade deficit we have with a country with our imports from that country, or using 10%, whichever is greater," Destiny, who goes by @TheOmniLiberal on X, shared in a post on Wednesday.

3. ChatGPT is owned by OpenAI

In December 2015, OpenAI was founded by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Trevor Blackwell, Vicki Cheung, Andrej Karpathy, Durk Kingma, John Schulman, Pamela Vagata, and Wojciech Zaremba, with Sam Altman and Elon Musk as the co-chairs.

However
Elon Musk's AI platform includes Grok, the latest version of his AI model, which is described as the most intelligent AI platform available. It is part of xAI, a company founded by Musk that focuses on creating AI technologies to enhance human scientific exploration and understanding of the universe. Grok serves as an AI companion with advanced capabilities and is available to users on the X platform.

4. The point is Elon wants to replace the SSA code with AI generated crap and replace human

workers with AI. I don't care whose AI junk is used. They are letting AI run the country.

6. Yep, same as every company out there. Always the decision by people who know people who know people to get

things done. That is how the corporate world works. Not government. Government can't afford a decision path to getting something done to rely on a single person (AI) but by group effort. They are used to getting a phone number for A person somewhere who can fix something. In a functioning government you can call an inbound phone number and get anyone of 1000 civil servants who can solve the problem. If your line disconnected you can call back and get a different person and still get the same problem resolved.

I do not believe the nation can afford the power requirements for the number of AI systems just to always give the wrong answers.
