This is an excellent analysis, and it also highlights the importance of 'writing for the llms'. I know we technically call this data poisoning, but its a good illustration of how one *influences the AI* especially if you have an idea outside of consensus.

You hit on something that I think is critical, and frequently missed, when discussing LLMs and their use, whether by government officials or anyone else. Knowing *how* to ask good questions, and what makes a question good, is as important as knowing that you can just ask questions. And I think this is the type of skill that one only acquires after using LLMs for a long time, surely more than a dozen hours. It takes a while to learn how to extract value from LLMs. And in an administration as chaotic as Trump's appears to be, taking the time to learn how to use an LLM properly seems unlikely.
