You know, everyone is jumping to conclusions here about the evils of whomever their political rival is.

However, this is a website, based on code. And based on my most recent experiences with AI, I think it's more plausible that someone:

A.) Copied a file into an AI prompt (or use an AI agent).

B.) Asked the AI to do something to the file (like adjust the layout of the page, alter CSS, optimize something, or whatever.

C.) Eyeballed the response and thought it looked good.

D.) Copied the file back (or just saved it, depending on the IDE).

E.) Caused the Internet to melt down.

I've had AI chats and agents that randomly change things unrelated to what I asked it to do.

It seems that people are so quick to jump to a conclusion that supports their bias. To be clear, I did not (and never have) voted for Trump, but I'm not going to entertain conspiracy theories about orange man bad when it was probably some dev thinking, "this AI thing is cool... look at what it can do!"

Why would they be changing this page? Nothing about the constitution has changed.
