Scovell notes that although Melania Trump is from Slovenia and English is not her native language, there is a high-tech "awkwardness to her phrasing that raises some questions." That includes her use of the word "human," which, according to Scovell, has AI's "fingerprints."

"A machine would do that," Scovell explains. "In fact, The Daily Beast started to wonder if perhaps Trump had turned to ChatGPT 4.0 for assistance in crafting a statement."

Scovell adds, "Why not? Lots of humans do it. And if she did, who would ever learn her secret? Except ChatGPT is pretty chatty."
