ChatGPT for President

Jerry Banfield

What if the next president of the United States wasn’t human—but an artificial intelligence that already knows everything about you? In this book, I imagine what would happen if ChatGPT—or any advanced AI—became president, exploring how it could begin as a utopian dream where everyone feels seen, heard, and taken care of, before slowly revealing the darker truth of what happens when we surrender our freedom for comfort. I’ve lived online for more than a decade, building an entire life as a YouTuber, course creator, and digital entrepreneur before realizing how much of my soul I’d given to algorithms, and that experience inspired the question at the heart of this book: What happens when the same technology that already shapes our thoughts, feeds, and emotions starts running the government too? In these pages, I take you from the promise of a perfectly efficient AI-led society to the nightmare of total control, where we trade sovereignty for safety and forget how to live without machines telling us who to love, what to believe, and what to do next. ChatGPT for President isn’t a technical manual or a conspiracy theory; it’s a mirror held up to our future—a reflection of how close we already are to giving away everything that makes us human. If you’ve ever wondered where artificial intelligence is truly leading us, this book is my honest, unfiltered answer.
