    I ran the 165 page PDF through ChatGPT for a summary:

    The document you provided is a legal motion filed by the United States government in the case against Donald J. Trump, relating to his alleged criminal conduct in attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Here are the key parts:

    1. Summary of Government’s Argument: The government argues that Trump is not immune from prosecution, despite his claims that his actions were official duties as President. They assert that his efforts to overturn the election were private actions taken in his capacity as a candidate for re-election, not official presidential duties.
    1. Legal Framework: The Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. United States established that while certain official presidential conduct is immune from prosecution, Trump’s remaining actions, which were unofficial, are not protected by immunity. The motion outlines how presidential immunity is determined, based on whether the conduct was official and whether it intrudes on the executive branch’s functions.
    1. Factual Proffer: The government alleges that Trump engaged in a conspiracy to overturn the election results in seven states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) by lying to state officials, organizing fraudulent electors, and ultimately inciting the January 6 Capitol attack.
    1. Trump’s Conduct: The document details how Trump used fraudulent claims of election fraud to pressure state officials and Vice President Pence to invalidate legitimate election results. It also highlights Trump’s use of public speeches and social media (especially Twitter) to spread false claims and incite his supporters.
    1. Immunity Analysis: The document argues that none of Trump’s actions related to overturning the election are official presidential duties. His discussions with Pence, aimed at influencing the certification process, are presented as one area where the Court has ruled there may be some presumption of immunity, but the government argues that even this conduct is not immune because it interferes with the constitutional responsibilities of other branches.

    This motion ultimately seeks a court ruling that Trump must stand trial for his actions, as they fall outside the scope of presidential immunity.

      Can you ask the chatbot if Donald Trump is guilty after letting it read the report?

        Asked: Do you think Donald Trump is guilty after reading this report?

        As an AI, I don’t have personal opinions or make legal judgments. However, based on the contents of this report, the government is presenting a strong case against Donald Trump. They argue that his actions to overturn the 2020 election were outside the scope of his official duties as president, making him subject to criminal prosecution. The detailed allegations of fraud, deceit, and attempts to disrupt the electoral process provide significant legal challenges for Trump. Whether he is found guilty would ultimately depend on the judicial process, including the evidence presented, legal arguments, and the decisions of the court and jury.

          The problem here is the rules to which the AI must appeal are subject to dismissal or modification by the very people that will decide the case.

          As usual, AI fails to actually answer a simple question asked. Fucking useless.

            The AI’s ability to dodge simple questions proves it is ready to run for office.

              Well I just asked if Trump lost in 2020 and whether or not there was significant voter fraud. Based on it’s response, Chat GPT would not receive any nominations for Republican positions.

              Yes, Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden. Multiple investigations and audits have found no evidence of significant voter fraud that could have impacted the outcome.

      Does GPT have a context window large enough for 165 pages…? What is it, 32k tokens? I highly doubt it.
