This is awesome. Next we can have AI Jesus endorsing Trump, AI Nicole Simpson telling us who the real killer was, and AI Abraham Lincoln saying that whole Civil War thing was a big misunderstanding and the Confederacy was actually just fine. The possibilities are endless. I can hardly wait!

AI-plim says they're just fine with it and everybody knows AI only presents objective truth.

I didn't know there was a Nicole Simpson, I thought there were just Homer, Marge, Abe, Bart, Maggie, and Lisa Simpson.

Considering he loved the Dixieland song, and his views on society normal for his time, and the intelligence of the average citizen, and those "AI's" being an extrapolator of meaningless traits on the average citizen's intelligence - we might actually learn that he's sorry, he was wrong and we should all go rebel.

Abe statement is probably closer to real than you might imagine.
