Trump accused of using AI to compose garbled executive orders

That would explain some of the clunky language, say observers. Legal experts are blaming Donald Trump’s suspected use of artifical intelligence for the often “slipshod” language of his multitude of executive orders. Another 16 orders signed the first day of Trump’s term were “ripped straight from the pages” of the right-wing Heritage Foundation Project 2025 plan for the Trump administration, economist Robert Reich claimed in a post on X. Trump said throughout his campaign that he knew nothing about Project 2025.
Many of Trump’s orders are difficult to read and understand, marked by errors and stilted language, observers have noted, which could be problem for Trump if challenged in court, as many of them are likely to be. Its language evokes a grade-school level textbook description similar to the bland language of AI-powered chatbots.
“The Gulf is also home to vibrant American fisheries teeming with snapper, shrimp, grouper, stone crab, and other species, and it is recognized as one of the most productive fisheries in the world, with the second largest volume of commercial fishing landings by region in the Nation, contributing millions of dollars to local American economies,” notes the order.
That had Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender person elected to Congress, mocking Trump for effectively declaring “everyone a woman.”. Beyond the significant error, the order is almost impossible to read. It states that the genders include a “person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell” and a “person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell” — an awkward and likely AI-concocted manner of language that’s almost opaque.
