AI on the Future of the United States

Update: As pointed out in the comments here, the original post has been removed from Reddit. There is still a long comment thread on the Reddit post, which includes some posts from Redditors who have ran the prompt on ChatGPT and other AI systems with similar results. I ran the original post through the free version of Microsoft's Copilot with similar projections though not as detailed or pessimistic. Google Gemini refused to provide an answer.

A Redditor asked ChatGPT to forecast the future of the United States if the Republican regime continues its current policies. 

It's exactly as many of us have predicted and it's pretty damn grim.  This is just the first part, and that's bad enough.

2025-2030: The First Five Years

Social Outlook

Civil Unrest and Authoritarian Crackdowns

Mass protests, civil disobedience, and violent clashes will increase, particularly as civil rights protections are rolled back.

The government will likely respond with expanded law enforcement powers, increased surveillance, and a crackdown on dissent, citing national security.

Journalistic freedom will erode, with targeted crackdowns on media outlets that oppose the administration.

2. Re-education Camps and Institutionalization of the Mentally Unwell

The reopening of state-run mental institutions will begin with "voluntary" participation but transition into forced institutionalization, particularly for homeless individuals and those deemed politically or socially disruptive.

These camps will become a tool for ideological enforcement, with dissenters, activists, and marginalized groups facing detainment.

3. Mass Exodus of Professionals and Talent

As freedoms erode, a significant portion of highly educated professionals (academics, scientists, tech workers) will seek to leave the country.

Brain drain will reduce America’s global competitiveness, particularly in scientific research and innovation.

And it gets worse, much worse.
