The Meidas Touch folks punked Trump and his phony claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him by using his own newly released government-powered artificial intelligence federal website called America.gov.
By asking a simple question about who won and lost the 2020 election, we see A.I.’s answer was perfect.
Here’s another from Tuesday that was truthful:

Here is its answer to the question about whether there was widespread fraud.
Here’s the gist: “Official federal assessments did not find evidence of widespread fraud that changed the 2020 presidential result.”
Of course, it doesn’t exclude presidential fantasy as a source of the claim for widespread fraud, and it’s a chatbot so of course it will be trained by its trainer. Daniel Dale tried this morning and got a different answer than I did to the question of who won the 2020 election, whether there was widespread fraud, and many other questions. Maybe it just glitched. Or maybe they made a special version for CNN. Who knows?
The Trump administration appears to have changed its AI chatbot so that it no longer debunks Trump lies.
Yesterday: It said Biden won the 2020 election and there’s no indication of widespread fraud.Today: Says it can’t answer such questions. pic.twitter.com/gf65ZE4YXa

It’s our taxpayer dollars funding this boondoggle. They’d have been better off just making the search engine better.
