Trump's first real encounter with $ChatGPT is wild.
Summer 2024, campaign trail. Trump knew almost nothing about AI. Thought it was "scary and unsettling," especially deepfakes.
$OpenAI team met him in Vegas (Sam Altman was out sick). They fed Trump's first-term AI executive order into ChatGPT and had it rewrite it as a poem.
Trump read it and immediately said: "This language is beautiful. Incredible." Then turned to his speechwriter: "Is this thing going to take your job?"
He started the meeting yawning, half-asleep. 20 minutes later, went from "What is this? Looks terrifying" to "How do I open the floodgates for you guys when I'm president?"
That's how fast the shift happened. From fear to full acceleration mode.
