Im not even sure what value the Chat GPT response provides in this story. So they watched the movie (not reading the book) and changed political parties. Why?

Im not even sure what value the Chat GPT response provides in this story. So they watched the movie (not reading the book) and changed political parties. Why? No real reason was given. Then they plop a Chat GPT response in there and that's it. So what is it? They are just living their life as Chat GPT directs them? ChatGPT is a month or so old, so did this all happen a month ago?
