In this case, it's as simple as "type it into ChatGPT, like the Reddit users did" :/

"these lazy fucks in the government are using ai to come up with policy"

Also news outlet

"I am too lazy to do the laziest thing I'm angry about, even though it's my literal job"

"News outlet" is a huge stretch. It's a crypto currency blog pretending to be news.

But that doesn't confirm or deny that Trumps formula came from ChatGPT, they could both be drawing from some other source.

You can generally toggle LLM "grounding" features, aka inserting web searches into their context.

Modern LLMs have a information "cutoff" of a few months ago, at the latest, so the base models will have zero awareness of this formula.

Unless the formula came from something that already existed that both Trumps people and these models are referencing to come up with the same number.
