ChatGPT bot channels history to pen State of Union speech

WASHINGTON — If you’ve heard it once in a president’s State of the Union speech, you’ve heard it 100 times: There is nothing the American people can’t do when they pull together. To shake up the formula before President Joe Biden’s speech to Congress on Tuesday night, The Associated Press instructed the artificial intelligence program ChatGPT to work up State of the Union speeches as they might have been written by some of history’s greatest minds as well as some stooges. ChatGPT was also asked to channel singer Elvis Presley, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi, the ground-breaking NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson and baseball’s Yogi Berra, among others. ___ MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. My fellow Americans, We gather here today, at a momentous time in our nation’s history, to address the state of our union.
