Donald Trump was asked about AI taking people’s jobs and his answer was the very opposite of reassuring
Everyone’s worried about AI taking their jobs right now (an AI writes, no, only kidding, absolutely now way a robot is going to write stuff like this) so it was only natural that Donald Trump should be asked about it.
Specifically, what message did he have for Americans worried that AI is going to take their jobs and basically leave them destitute. What message of hope do you have for them, Mr President?
Reporter: What's your message to American families who are scared by the rise of AI? They're worried that their kids are not going to be able to have jobs someday?
Trump: AI is amazing. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. pic.twitter.com/Ks0VCsYMhC

And if you’re thinking that was the very opposite of the sort of message people were hoping for, you’d be 100% correct.

We should start a campaign to venmo money to any reporter who follows up with, "That's not what I asked," and repeats the question. Double money if the next reporter says it about the previous reporter's question.

New York families are worried about their jobs being wiped out by AI and this is Trump’s message to them.

“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon” is the new “we cannot have men in women’s sports.” He just says it at random intervals when he has no idea what he’s talking about. https://t.co/5GYbzEQ4ei

Reporter: “Families are worried AI could eliminate jobs and destabilize their children’s future. What’s your message to them?”
Trump: “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
