The X account for OpenAI’s ChatGPT has light-heartedly replicated a post by United States President Joe Biden, which was initially interpreted as “I’m sick” in relation to his recent positive Covid-19 diagnosis. Biden, however, used the statement with a different twist to mock billionaire investor Elon Musk.
“I’m sick,” ChatGPT wrote in a July 20 post on X, before similarly playing on the words, by elaborating “of general intelligence not being ubiquitous and too cheap to meter.”
It was only two days prior to Biden making a similar “I’m Sick” post before making a claim that Musk is attempting to "buy the election." The post comes amid Biden facing calls from some in the Democratic Party to step aside in the 2024 election.
“Of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election. And if you agree, pitch in here,” he wrote on July 18, following recent reports that Musk will donate $45 million a month to a pro-Trump political action committee.
X post follows Biden revealing Covid-19 diagnosis
Biden’s post came only days after revealing that he tested positive for Covid-19.
“I tested positive for COVID-19 this afternoon, but I am feeling good and thank everyone for the well wishes,” Biden revealed in a July 18 X post.
“I will be isolating as I recover, and during this time I will continue to work to get the job done for the American people,” he added.
It comes only weeks after an advocacy group strongly encouraged Biden to change his position on cryptocurrency to increase his chances in the 2024 presidential election.
In a July 9 letter, the tech trade group Chamber of Progress urged Biden to support comprehensive crypto regulation amid concerns about the election and members of Congress preparing to vote on related legislation.
According to the group, the US president “can still win” the issue of cryptocurrency against Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
“Former President Donald Trump has capitalized on the Administration’s lack of clarity to reverse his position on cryptocurrency and portray you as an opponent of American technological leadership and economic progress,” said the Chamber of Progress to President Biden.
