ChatGPT has dragged Donald Trump after saying that he has the reading age of an 11-year-old.
The latest criticism of the US president has come from an artificially intelligent chatbot.
The remark was made based on a post written by President Trump on his Truth Social account.

There, he talked about a recent phone call he’d had with Vladimir Putin.
However, this wasn’t necessarily clear to ChatGPT, who predicted that the post was written by someone with the literary comprehension of an 11 to 14 year old child.
Discussing the Russian war against Ukraine, Trump wrote: “I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, Energy, Artificial Intelligence, the power of the Dollar, and various other subjects.
“We both reflected on the Great History of our Nations, and the fact that we fought so successfully together in World War II, remembering that Russia lost tens of millions of people, and we, likewise, lost so many!”
Trump went on to talk about the strengths of both the US and Russia, ‘and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together’.
In an analysis done by the AI chatbot, it said: “The literary comprehension skills of the author appear to be at an early teenage level (around 11-14 years old). This assessment is based on several factors.
“Simple Sentence Structures – the text relies on relatively straightforward sentence construction, with a mix of short and long sentences but without complex syntax or nuanced argumentation.
“Repetitive Phrasing – phrases like ‘We both reflected’, ‘We both believe very strongly in it’, and ‘we will someday have in working together’ suggest a lack of linguistic variety typical of more mature writing.
“Overuse of Exclamation Marks – frequent exclamation marks are more common in less formal or emotionally charged writing, which can indicate a less developed sense of tone in written communication.
“Basic Transitions and Coherence Issues – the text jumps between ideas without strong logical connectors, leading to a somewhat fragmented structure (e.g., transitioning abruptly from discussing historical alliances to a mention of negotiations).
“Overuse of Simple Vocabulary – while the topics discussed are serious and geopolitical in nature, the vocabulary remains relatively basic, with phrases like ‘very strong’, ‘great benefit’, and ‘wonderful man’. A more advanced writer would likely use more precise and varied word choices.”
ChatGPT concluded quite critically with: “Overall, while the content suggests an adult perspective on global affairs, the writing style aligns more with that of an early teenager or someone who relies on conversational rather than sophisticated literary expression.”
