well, LLMs and Trump are well-known bullshit generators. kudos to mike for reverse-engeering trump's parameters
"These models are designed to give you what you want, not what’s true. They optimize for plausibility rather than accuracy"
reminded me of that song: "you can't always get what you want (repeat), but you get what you need". LLMs reverse that

"What’s particularly notable is that the AI’s response is actually more coherent than Trump’s — it maintains a more consistent narrative structure while hitting the same rhetorical points. This suggests that Trump’s responses are even less constrained by reality than a typical LLM’s output."
