Will Trumpers be calling for the end of AI now? Artificial Intelligence is not partisan.
Now do Trump!
President Joe Biden's cognitive abilities may be better than some say they are — at least according to two AI chatbots.
The 81-year-old's mental acuity has returned to the spotlight after special counsel Robert Hur investigated Biden's handling of classified documents. Hur ultimately recommended in February that no charges be made, in part because the president is an "elderly man with a poor memory" who would elicit sympathy from the jury. One factor that played into the report was Biden forgetting when he was vice president and when his son Beau died.
However, a full transcript of the president's five-hour interview with Hur, which dropped on Tuesday, has raised further questions. Some who analyzed it said Hur's claims about Biden's memory issues were overstated. He seemed to be able to recall the day and month his son Beau died, and recognized his errors when he misstated which years he served as vice president.
To get some additional opinions, Business Insider uploaded the transcript into OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude Pro. Using the same prompts, we asked the AI chatbots to assess Biden's cognitive abilities and age-related issues based on factors like clarity of thought, coherence, language use, memory recall, and "any other relevant indicators present in the text."
These chatbots are run on large language models, or LLMs, computer programs trained on troves of web data that generate human-like responses.
And both chatbots' verdicts were that Biden's cognitive abilities are just fine.
"The interview transcripts reflect that President Biden was able to communicate effectively, recall details from his tenure, and engage in logical reasoning during the interview," ChatGPT wrote. "These aspects are essential indicators of cognitive abilities and suggest that he could perform cognitively demanding tasks during the interview."
Now do Trump!
We asked ChatGPT and Claude to analyze Biden's cognitive abilities based on the Joe Biden-Robert Hur transcript. Their verdict: the president is doing fine.

The MAGAs have no other choice than to go after Biden. I don't think that anyone over the age of 75 should be allowed to run for president so no, I`m not a Biden enthusiast but I don`t want to bring back the Soviet Union.
