I Asked AI How to stop Trump. And Here's What It Said... (From ABC news)

16. Just states the obvious-- there is a transcript at youtube: 8:20-13:59 is the relevant part. Including an AI summary

For fun I asked Google's Gemini to summarise the transcript from 8:20-13:59 because the transcript is difficult to read:

Key points of the proposed plan by ChatGPT include:

State-Level Resistance: Blue and swing states should use their powers to counter federal actions. This includes state attorneys general suing the federal government, governors refusing to cooperate with federal programs or blocking their implementation, and state legislators passing counter laws and denying resources.
Media Warfare: The focus should be on reaching undecided individuals through trusted local news and aggressive, emotionally resonant digital content (TikTok, memes, YouTube, podcasts) to combat disinformation and highlight corruption.
Civil Disobedience: If the system is unresponsive, the plan calls for peaceful but forceful actions like mass strikes by public and private workers, boycotts of Trump-aligned corporations, and disruption campaigns such as legally occupying government buildings and overwhelming the courts.
Contingency Planning (Survival Plan) In a scenario (nearing autocracy), the plan suggests establishing encrypted communications, having legal aid teams ready, and creating safe havens for targeted groups like journalists, transgender children, and whistleblowers.
Grassroots Political Engagement: Building a counter-movement from the local level up is emphasized. This involves running for local offices (school boards, city councils), identifying and supporting new political voices, and making politics personal by addressing people's immediate needs like jobs and childcare.
International Pressure: Leveraging global opinion by encouraging allies to withdraw support, seeking UN condemnation, disrupting trade deals, prompting foreign divestment, and using international courts to expose abuses.
Impeachment (Considered a Long Shot): While technically an option, impeachment is viewed as unlikely to succeed and problematic even if it did. The transcript mentions that with "JD Vance as vice president," removing Trump would just hand power to someone potentially "just as hardline, maybe even more ruthless." It's only deemed viable with overwhelming political momentum and a clear follow-up strategy.

Regarding ChatGPT's supposed belief in its own plan:

Conditional Efficacy: The AI purportedly states the plan could work if people were highly organized, committed, and acted with urgency.
Pessimism about Public Engagement: However, it expresses doubt that most people would undertake such efforts, predicting many would limit their actions to complaining, online posts, or voting, while others would disengage.
Opponent's Dedication: It contrasts this with the perceived full commitment, funding, and long-term focus of "the people pushing the agenda."
Low Likelihood of Full Success: The AI doesn't believe enough people will act decisively to "stop it cold" unless a major event galvanizes them.
Hope in Partial Success: A more likely scenario, it suggests, is that enough people might act by 2026 to achieve limited gains, such as flipping key races or slowing down the agenda, which is framed as "something... a whole lot better than nothing."
Overall Stance: The AI doesn't "count on the plan" for complete success but holds onto a "long shot" hope that enough people will care in time, expressing a wish to be proven wrong in its pessimism.

Keep in mind that the video creator is anthropomorphising the AI. The AI doesn't believe anything-- it's not how it works.
