Kennedy earned his fourth A.W.I. victory using essentially the same approach that has served Trump so well: locating that sweet spot where ignorance meets arrogance, and then acting it out on a public stage. Third place (6.3 percent) went to Will Smith, for being the willing object of worshipful A.I.-enhanced audiences, and fourth (5.3 percent) to Prince Andrew, for being Prince Andrew.
