Overview
- The post, which Milei shared on Friday, September 11, used artificial intelligence to stage a brief dialogue between the president and 19th‑century educator Domingo Faustino Sarmiento.
- In the video the AI‑rendered Sarmiento compares historical criticisms of his tone to those leveled at Milei, and Milei tells the simulated figure that Sarmiento inspired him to teach economics for years.
- The clip, under one minute long and posted with a headline reported as “FELIZ DÍA DEL MAESTRO. MAGA!”, closes with Milei thanking teachers and saying the best teacher teaches people to think rather than what to think.
- Media coverage notes this is another example of Milei using artificial intelligence in political messaging and that invoking Sarmiento carries strong symbolic weight in Argentina’s education debates.
- The move could shape how politicians use AI and historical figures to claim legitimacy and influence public discussion about schooling and political style, so observers should watch for follow‑on public and institutional reactions.
