It's Tuesday, January 20th.
I'm Jane Costin, and this is What A Day, a show just wondering what Congress is up to.
You guys having a nice time?
Good January so far?
Anything new?
Any, say, foreign policy debacles involving our NATO allies you want to prevent?
On today's show, hooray!
It's one year since President Donald Trump took office.
We're 25% of the way there.
Technically, we have fewer Trump days ahead of us than behind us, if you count his first term.
And did Trump's tariffs make us all richer?
Look in your wallet or stay tuned to find out.
But let's start with artificial intelligence.
If you've ever used Claude or chat GPT, congratulations, you are among millions.
According to Pew, 34% of U.S.
adults had used chat GPT by the middle of 2025.
That's double the number of users since 2023.
And half of all Americans have used some AI large language model,
including chat GPT, cloud, Gemini, and co-pilot.
That's either fascinating or terrifying, depending on how you feel about AI.
