The Trump administration has been accused of using ChatGPT to calculate the tariffs it presented to the world on Wednesday.

Summary

Critics accused Trump and his administration of using ChatGPT to create its new tariff formula, which mirrors AI-generated outputs.

Commentators highlighted that the tariffs appear based on a simplistic calculation: divide the U.S. trade deficit with a country by total imports, or default to 10%.

Analysts slammed the approach as flawed and dangerous.

Markets reacted sharply, with the S&P 500 falling over 4% and Nasdaq dropping more than 5%.
