Summary

Critics accused Trump and his administration of using ChatGPT to create its new tariff formula, which mirrors AI-generated outputs.

Commentators highlighted that the tariffs appear based on a simplistic calculation: divide the U.S. trade deficit with a country by total imports, or default to 10%.

Analysts slammed the approach as flawed and dangerous.

Markets reacted sharply, with the S&P 500 falling over 4% and Nasdaq dropping more than 5%.

    Honestly, if an AI was running the country without some bastard prompting it, we might be better off for four years.

        This fact is really funny. Musk’s own ai is like, paraphrasing, “hey, he tried to change my code, in order to make me shut up about what a piece of shit he is and how dangerous this loser is to mankind.”
