PKD predicted this in the 1963 short story Stand-By, with President Unicephalon 40-D.

At this point, in any case, who would want to prevent it? Even GPT-5 -- hell, even Grok -- would make a better president than any human politician. They'd avoid absurd stunts like tariffs, would be immune to bribes and graft, etc...

I'd take ELIZA, or even Microsoft Tay, over the current President.

Wouldn't that depend on who programs/configures/"tweaks" the AI?

Haven't we seen crazy results, and after tweaking, "bespoke" (as in "This is what I would say") results.

It's software .... you know the rest.

Asking sincerely.

And what happens when you remove human weaknesses, such as love of Smoot-Hawley and days gone by, gunboat diplomacy (literally), greed, etc?

If it reduces creativity, etc, won't we have to argue with it (Landru)[0] to moderate its power or self-destruct?
