Former President Donald Trump revealed that one of his speeches was re-written by artificial intelligence and that it turned out so "beautifully" that he decided he wanted to use it.
Trump discussed his use of AI during an appearance on Thursday's episode of Logan Paul’s podcast Impaulsive.
"What it does is so crazy," Trump said of AI. "Now, it can also be really used for good. I mean, things can happen."
Trump continued, "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?" podcast co-host Mike Majlak asked. “You’re fired?”
Trump looked directly into the camera and said, “You’re fired, Vince!”
The former president was likely referring to his speechwriter, Vince Haley, with the joke. Trump on AI:

"This was so crazy. It took it and it made it unbelievable, and it’s so fast," Trump continued. "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."
The Republican presidential nominee 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."
