 Do you think it’s AI trump in the X spaces? 
 Let's hope so.  That would be max troll. 
 What if it's always been AI Trump. And AI Harris?  AI is Artificial but it is not Intelligent.  It is programmed LLM (Limited Language Models). Those in control feed data points and bias into the program.  The program runs to spit out a reasonable facsimile of a desirable outcome.  Both Harris and Trump have handlers and have clearly limited abilities and built in bias, just as designed and desired by their respective programmers.  Oh, the programmers? Yeah, they call them lobbyists, PACs, etc.  Sometimes the programs run off the rails (recent examples "cats and dogs" or "fall out of a coconut tree"). 
 We’re all fucking doomed if this is what AI has to offer.
