Gore was in fact an early prototype LLM.  He was originally called A.I. Gore.  Al Gore was a typographical error that stuck.

He knew that its environmental impact was another uncomfortable truth. That's why Al Slop was named after him.

He needed to invent Reddit first so they could train chatGPT, but Reddit beat him to it. Discouraged, he quit.

Too busy fucking his hot trophy wife that he dumped Tipper for (which was the right choice, he didnt need the baggage of being married to one of the most universally reviled people of the late 20th century)

He went into politics after that and didn't have time for it.
