AI diagnosed Milei with 'persecutory delusion,' says Argentine minister

Buenos Aires Minister of Government Carlos Bianco has claimed that artificial intelligence diagnosed President Javier Milei with "persecutory delusion." Bianco stated that the AI reached this conclusion after analyzing an interview in which Milei discussed "terrorists disguised as students, terrorists disguised as journalists, terrorists disguised as professors, terrorists disguised as researchers."

Bianco's comments follow similar remarks from Vice President Victoria Villarruel, who expressed "genuine concern" on social media about the president's "imaginary persecutions." Villarruel questioned Milei's references to international left-wing terrorism, stating that Argentina does not face such threats. Bianco echoed this sentiment, suggesting Milei sees terrorists everywhere, possibly due to paranoia or external influence.

The minister also criticized Cabinet Chief Diego Santilli for not formally meeting with the province to discuss a debt claim of 26.7 trillion pesos, ironically suggesting Santilli might also consider him a "terrorist" for raising the issue. Bianco accused Santilli of neglecting his duties to the province while touring the country to secure legislative support for the national government.

President Milei reportedly responded to Villarruel by questioning her mental state, stating, "I love it, before changing reality they call the one who wants to change things crazy." The political friction highlights ongoing tensions within the Argentine government.
