I have this book on computer generated text. It has a chapter on political speech. I'd say computers were more coherent than some US Presidents by the early 90s. Who needs LLMs?

Update: I had another look at the rest of the rhetoric section and actually I think they were far beyond certain US presidents back in the 70s.
