Trump Used AI to Rewrite a Speech
Former President Donald Trump revealed this week that he’s used artificial intelligence to help rewrite at least one of his speeches.
During an appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast Impulsive, Trump spoke about how powerful he found AI.
“What it does is so crazy. Now, it can also be really used for good,” Trump told Paul. “I mean, things can happen. I had a speech rewritten by AI out there, one of the top people. He said, ‘Oh, you’re gonna make a speech.’ ‘Yeah.' He goes click click click, and like 15 seconds later he shows me my speech, written so beautifully, I said, ‘I’m gonna use this.’ I’ve never seen anything like it.”
When asked what he said to his speechwriter Vince Haley afterward, Trump joked that he told Haley “You’re fired, Vince!”
Trump went on to talk about how impressed he was with the speed of AI, as well as the quality of what it was able to produce.
“It comes out with the most beautiful writing, so one industry I think that will be gone are these wonderful speechwriters,” Trump said. “I’ve never seen anything like it, and so quickly. A manner of literally minutes, it’s done. It’s a little bit scary.”
During his presidency, Trump signed the ‘American AI Initiative’ which federally funded artificial intelligence R&D in the United States.
