Trump's America.gov AI program didn't work out so well for him

Yesterday he announced a revamp of America.gov to be an AI bot. (oh excuse me "SI" ) Well of course the anti-Trumpers started asking it all sorts of questions like "who won the 2020 election?", "can Trump be president for a 3rd term?", "was there widespread fraud in the 2020 election?", etc. The AI bot told the truth: Biden, no, and no. Well guess who didn't like that? Not even 24 hours later it has been changed to refuse to discuss politics. Whoever thought putting an AI program out there for people to ask questions and get the actual truth has probably already been fired.

@njchicaa Perhaps himself is actually a product of an AI experiment gone wrong.

Wow that was fast, less than a day and they already changed it. Seems like a bot that just answers questions straight up was too much for them. Guess saying nothing is the safer option now.
