All the chat bots say this is how you balance it...
They absolutely asked chatbots, and I'd bet money at some stage someone said "make it look more complicated" and that was then made as a prompt to the AI...
Who made a simple mathmatic equation look complicated by adding shit that cancels out.
The people who actually used the numbers had no idea where they came from, or what it meant.
So they're almost certainly learning today that it both was made by a chatbot, and that it's just that simple.
Like, the people running this clown show literally and figuratively don't know what they're doing. They think real experts are giving them advise on this shit and it's some boomer using chatgpt
Probably the Formula came from one of those doge Kids, so more likely a Zoomer instead of a boomer.
And i think, they knew full Well, that their numbers were shit and based Off on nothing substantial at all. They Just wanted to hide IT behind some math Formular in Order to Trick the populace. Because its easier to Argument for "an expert approach" instead of "we just made Up some Numbers"
trump 100% didn't know an AI came up with it, or that the formula was this basic.
If he did then he would have typed it in himself.
To be in Trump's orbit you need to make him think you're indispensable, this is going to make him think lots of people are useless, and if you're useless trump doesn't give a shit about you.
This assumes people in his circle got there via competency, which, as we've seen again and again, they typically do not.
To be fair to the chatbot...what else was the chatbot supposed to do? Not the ai fault he was speaking to a complete imbecile with extremely stupid prompts....
First, do what experts were saying and say this is stupid. But since they seemed primed for bullshit, the most obvious would be to take the explicit tariffs on US products, use any of a number of ways to calculate the impact of non-tariff barriers that actually make sense, and sum both of them. And then set the formula on fire because tariff wars are stupid.
I guess the First Thing gone wrong, was to use an AI in the first place. This is why there still needs to be Subject Matter Experts, on fields and applications, otherwise, you only get stupid Things and Users incorrectly applying existing tech.
Huh?
The only way to make any mathematical calculation appear more complicated is by adding things that cancel out...
There's zero other way to accomplish that.
That IS what I am saying, the chatbot did its job well...the reqyest was just the dumbest shit I have ever heard
