It's hard to believe, with all the conversations that Trump has had with Netanyahu, that this subject hasn't come up, or that Trump would not be intensely interested in deploying this software against not only the free press but many other of his "enemies within." He might also use it to try to find leakers. It's incredibly dangerous. And when you add A.I. capabilities in, I think it might be almost impossible to remain anonymous nowadays. But I hope I'm wrong.
