If we ever manage to get the country back, we need to immediately ban AI-created political advertisements, and put teeth into the law.
I've been tracking deep fakes and AI in politics for a few years now, just waiting for the moment when they'd start using them to manipulate voters, and we've finally arrived. And as I predicted, it was MAGA who dove in head first. Truth has never been one of their virtues.
Can we just ban political advertisement in general? Im tired boss. Im so tired.
Just make it simpler; liability for not fact checking information and ban structurally important media from being for profit. Get too big? Congrats, you've been nationalized to serve public rather than private interest.
