It's exhausting to even consider where to begin addressing the assertion that good leadership is just predicting the next word to say. Especially considering the corpus available to most great leaders in history was extremely small. To think Hannibal's military campaigns were just because he'd read like ten books in his life and could accurately forecast effective rhetoric is...indescribably divorced from reality.

At the risk of seeming like a jerk.

"Competent strategy" is just as good a target for a word predictor to optimize as "effective rhetoric" is.
