Trump says he used AI to rewrite one of his speeches – Washington Examiner

Former President Donald Trump revealed on Thursday that he used artificial intelligence to rewrite one of his speeches, saying he finds the rapidly developing technology both “alarming” and “incredible.”

“One of the top people, he said, ‘Oh, you’re going to make a speech?’” Trump said on YouTuber and professional wrestler Logan Paul’s podcast Impaulsive. “He goes click, click, click, and like 15 seconds later, he shows me my speech, written so beautifully. I said, ‘I’m going to use this sucker.’”

“It comes out with the most beautiful writing,” Trump added. “So one industry I think that will be gone are these wonderful speechwriters. I’ve never seen anything like it, and so quickly. A matter of literally minutes, it’s done. So it’s a little bit scary.”

Trump said he met with “super geniuses” in the tech industry in San Francisco to discuss AI.

“They made a commercial of me promoting a product, and it wasn’t me, and I said, ‘Did I make that commercial? Did I forget that I made that commercial?’ It is so unbelievable,” the former president said.

“The voice was perfect. The lips moved perfectly with every word,” he said.

He added the technology’s potential to impersonate people was “scary in one particular way” to the president of the United States.

“‘You’ announced that 13 missiles have been sent to … let’s not use the name of a country. We have just sent 13 nuclear missiles heading to somewhere, and they will hit their targets in 12 minutes and 59 seconds,” Trump said.

The former president revealed that he had asked Tesla CEO Elon Musk about the hypothetical.

“I asked Elon, is there any way that, like, Russia or China can say that that’s not really President Trump? He said there’s no way,” Trump said.

“So, what do they do when they see this? They have, maybe, a counterattack. It’s so dangerous in that way, OK. [But] in another way, it’s so incredible,” he added.
