In an episode of Politicons Politics War Room published in full on Thursday, Carville, 81, said that he doesnt see Trump, 79, finishing out his term as scheduled due to his declining mental faculties.
I just dont see this guy being President of the United States by this time next year, the Ragin Cajun said. And I increasingly believe that were on a much shorter leash than that.
Its just the rate of deterioration. I dont have to be a neurologist, anything like that. I mean, weve all seen it, he continued. And youre looking at it right in front of your eyes. And its not wishful thinking, its not projecting. Its just whats happening.
People are giving less of a s--t of what he says, Carville said. Foreign leaders, voters, politicians. Its not the same job he had a year ago, and its clearly not going to be the same job come November.

But over the last few months, it has occurred to me that, for all the hype about generative AI systems hallucinating, we pay much less attention to the fact that the current President does the same thing, nearly every day. The more you look at the way Donald Trump spews utter nonsense answers to questions, the more you begin to recognize a clear pattern he answers questions in a manner quite similar to early versions of ChatGPT. The facts dont matter, the language choices are a mess, but they are all designed to present a plausible-sounding answer to the question, based on no actual knowledge, nor any concern for whether or not the underlying facts are accurate.

This is not the response of someone working from actual knowledge or policy understanding. Instead, its precisely how an LLM operates: taking a prompt (the question about job losses) and generating text based on some core parameters (the system prompt that requires deflecting blame and asserting greatness).
The hallmarks of AI generation are all here:
Confident assertions without factual backing
Meandering diversions that maintain loose semantic connection to the topic
Pattern-matching to previous responses (ripped off, billions of dollars)
Optimization for what sounds good rather than whats true

(46,185 posts)There have been so many predictions, for so long, of Trump's imminent demise that it's hard to take any of them seriously. At some point, one of these predictions will turn out to be true, but so far the track record is not so great.
