Last week, Donald Trump unveiled an A.I.-powered ‘giant wiener chatbot’ to simplify access to gov't information. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social tested it out and … it also fact checks some of his favorite lies 🫢 Or at least it USED TO. Some of the bot’s answers have reportedly since been reprogrammed.

Donald Trump *actually* acknowledged that the White House has a PR problem this week … what tipped him off? Could it be his historically low approval ratings? Or the growing dissatisfaction among voters towards Republicans in ruby red states? 🤔 @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social
