AI can barely do easy shit like 'draw ppl without eight fingers and terrifying arms or teeth that aren't inexplicably merging into all the other ppl in the picture like a blob of sentient mimic goo' or 'write a simple essay better than a stoned college student could sans AI' so no I don't think so
I feel like there's never been a Torment Nexus warned more about in fiction than this one

Doesn't even matter if trump d*es in office at this point cuz JD and Elon would probably just Weekend at Bernie's him and the entire Republican party would be like "he looks great! They are definitely not holding him up. Libtard propaganda! His eyes are closed because he's praying!!!"

Idk I just can't get behind this mentality. I'm not saying that there aren't people who just went 'meh, at least he's not a WOC' and did not listen when told about P2025 but I TRULY believe that his base wants all the oppression and regression, most of them just won't own up to it when asked.
I hold a lot of disdain for the people who didn’t see this coming given P2025 but it does seem like the actual support for these goals is nonexistent, everyone who voted for him did so under the incredibly stupid assumption that he wouldn’t do this
