White House Partners With PragerU to Make AI-Slopified Founding Fathers | John Adams says "facts do not care about our feelings" in one of the AI-generated videos in PragerU's series partnership with White House.


John Adams says "facts do not care about our feelings" in one of the AI-generated videos in PragerU's series partnership with White House.

I have the unfortunate duty to inform you that the WH & Dept of Ed, as part of the Trump Admin's celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, has partnered with Prager U to create AI-slop videos in which we see John Adams say "facts do not care about your feelings." I thought it was odd, I said, that they chose to include people like politician and disgraced minister Lyman Hall and obscure poet Francis Hopkinson alongside more well-known figures like John Adams or Thomas Jefferson. “My guess is that this is part of the broader right wing populist push to frame themselves as the grassroots ‘true Americans,’ and they're including all of these lesser known figures with the hopes that their viewers will be like ‘oh wow, look at all of these revolutionary freedom fighters like me who were just kinda ordinary guys like me but who still changed history.’”
