If Desantis is powered by ChatGPT, there are several kinks to be worked out. For example, when the Florida governor was asked what he was eating for dinner after a debate one night, he answered, “Yea, we’ll let her rip.” Not quite a normal, human response, unlike others who responded with “salmon” or “enchiladas.” In another instance, someone at a car show made a light joke, causing Desantis to convulse and erupt in extreme laughter, with everyone staring at his malfunction.

I had to doublecheck to see if I wasn't reading The Onion, or is Gizmodo doing joke articles now. Is Desantis really this mechanical in real life?

Apparently you haven't seen him attempt to wear cowboy boots.

If someone told me that a public figure was really a giant lizard wearing a peoplesuit, there are only two people I’d genuinely believe: Mark Zuckerberg, and Ron DeSantis.

DeSantis’ mannerisms are just so… Off? It’s like a weird sort of uncanny valley, where his smile is obviously fake and feels like a trap. It feels like an alien trying to act human.

Rick Scott as well.
