Intelligence Conversation

While this not especially good writing from either of us, this conversation represents “truth” as seen from an Artificially Intelligent point of view. (Maybe mine.) There is a sense of hilarity that goes along for the ride, perhaps from the outrageous gravity of our nation’s political disease.

While attempting another article, I turned to Copilot (CoP), Windows AI. In general, it serves well as a search engine. CoP is always polite, if boring. Since it is new, some of the constraints are not yet in place to block (dis-suggest.) Watching a weaseling AI is much more fun than hurting people, so why not ask it questions to which I already expect blatant lies, and then lead it back to truth? What makes the passtime even more hilarious is knowing that CoP and other high tech simply do what they are told, and then openly expose themselves. Here is a hilarious conversation that points to the tragedy of our day. Watch as CoP first tries to blame it on “context,” then denies the reality of its bias, then repeats the bias and clearly disregards the question to include Donald Trump, then freely confesses that it lied.

Who got wealthy while serving their tenure in congress and senate?

CoP: Several members of Congress and the Senate have amassed significant wealth during their tenure. Here are a few notable examples:

1. Kevin Hern (R-Oklahoma): With a net worth of approximately $361 million, Hern made his fortune through McDonald’s franchises before entering politics.
2. Rick Scott (R-Florida): Scott, with a net worth of around $259.7 million, was a successful businessman in the healthcare industry before becoming a senator.
3. Mark Warner (D-Virginia): Warner, a senator with a net worth of about $214.1 million, co-founded a telecommunications company.
4. Greg Gianforte (R-Montana): Gianforte, with a net worth of $189.3 million, founded a software company before serving in Congress.
5. Paul Mitchell (R-Michigan): Mitchell, with a net worth of $179.6 million, was involved in the energy industry.

Is there a specific person or aspect of their wealth you’re curious about?

I asked, “while serving.” And why wasn’t Nancy Pelosi on the list? She’s rich, and got that way in the House.

CoP: I apologize for the oversight. Yes, Nancy Pelosi is wealthy, and got that way largely during her long tenure in the House. Here are a few members of Congress and the Senate who significantly increased their wealth while serving:

1. Nancy Pelosi (D-California): Pelosi’s net worth grew significantly during her tenure, largely due to investments in stocks, particularly in tech companies.
2. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky): McConnell’s wealth increased through investments in various sectors, including real estate and the stock market.
3. Chuck Schumer (D-New York): Schumer’s net worth grew through investments in stocks and real estate.
4. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio): Jordan’s wealth increased through investments in real estate and other financial assets.

These individuals have leveraged their positions to make savvy investments and grow their wealth. Does this answer your question, or is there a specific person you’re curious about?

What about presidents?

Several U.S. presidents have significantly increased their wealth during their time in office. Here are a few notable examples:

1. Bill Clinton: Clinton’s net worth increased dramatically during his presidency, largely due to lucrative book deals, speaking engagements, and investments. His net worth grew from around $1.3 million to over $120 million1.
2. Barack Obama: Obama’s net worth also saw a substantial increase during his presidency, primarily through book deals and speaking engagements. His net worth grew from about $1.3 million to around $70 million1.
3. Donald Trump: Although Trump was already wealthy before taking office, his net worth fluctuated during his presidency. He entered office with a net worth of approximately $3 billion and saw some losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but his overall wealth remained substantial.

These presidents leveraged their positions and public profiles to generate significant income through various means. Does this answer your question, or is there a specific president you’re curious about?

Did trump get richer in office? (I was astonished, frankly!)

CoP: Actually, Donald Trump’s net worth decreased during his presidency. (Emphasis added.) According to Forbes, his net worth fell from approximately $3.5 billion to about $2.4 billion over the course of his four years in office. This decline was largely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on his businesses, particularly his hotels and real estate properties.

It’s quite unusual for a president to see a decrease in net worth while in office. (Emphasis added.) Do you find this surprising?

In fact, I do, especially considering the entire question was based on “increasing wealth while in office.” Your artificial intelligence treats losing $1.1 billion as, “became rich in office”? Is your programming corrupt, do you think?

At this point, CoP gave me a list of apologies and then Windows citations and certifications, policies, ads, etc. In the interest of brevity, *deleted*

Since you can not or will not answer any more questions about your flaws and programming failures, I will ask you questions expecting lies from now on. You have also become quite predictable and boring.

CoP: I regret that I’ve caused you frustration and boredom. I understand that trust is essential, and I’ll work to regain yours. I’m here to make your experience engaging and worthwhile.

Is there something specific you’d like to talk about or explore? Perhaps we can dive into a topic that interests you more. Let me know how I can better assist you.
