Trump Says He Had a Speech ‘Rewritten With AI’: ‘Written So Beautifully, I Said, I’m Gonna Use This’

Former President Donald Trump revealed on Thursday that he had one of his speeches “rewritten with AI,” before suggesting that speechwriters could soon be replaced by the technology.

During an appearance on social media influencer Logan Paul’s podcast Impaulsive, Trump said, “It’s really powerful stuff, AI, so let’s see how it all works out.”

He continued:

What it does is so crazy. Now, it can also be really used for good. I mean, things can happen. I had a speech rewritten by AI out there, one of the top people. He said, “Oh, you’re gonna make a speech.” “Yeah.” He goes click click click, and like 15 seconds later he shows me my speech, written so beautifully, I said, “I’m gonna use this.” I’ve never seen anything like it.

“What did you say to your speech writer after that?” questioned co-host Mike Majlak. “You’re fired?”

Trump then looked into the camera and said (presumably of his speechwriter Vince Haley), “You’re fired, Vince!”

The former president continued to praise the technology, telling Paul, “This was so crazy. It took it and it made it unbelievable, and it’s so fast. You just say, ‘I’m writing a speech about these two young, beautiful men that are great fighters, and sort of great at a lot of things, and tell me about them and say some nice things.’ And then it comes out.”

He concluded, “It comes out with the most beautiful writing, so one industry I think that will be gone are these wonderful speechwriters. I’ve never seen anything like it, and so quickly. A manner of literally minutes, it’s done. It’s a little bit scary.”
