    Just to satiate my curiosity I tried asking ChatGPT, and I gotta say, it tries really fucking hard not to give a recommendation.

    People were already just letting Fox and other propaganda networks tell them how to vote. I guess it was only a matter of time before they let AI tell them.

    Not sure if this is worse or just the same in a different package.

    I asked. It asked which state I’m from and what are my top 3 issues. I said I’m from Michigan and healthcare is too expensive. It replied that El-Sayed is explicitly pro Medicare for All. It asked what aspect about healthcare is too expensive. I said I don’t want to pay insurance. It replied that puts me straight into El-Sayed’s orbit.

    I don’t think this would turn out as bad as people watching Fox News. Scam Altman doesn’t seem to have brainwashed GPT to say El-Sayed is communist antisemitic Hamas supporter.

    It’s wild how so many people seem to have no idea what it’s like to even use LLMs, even for research. Kinda mind blowing how people just accept others opinions as their own. Reminds me of people that hated on tiktok without ever even trying it

    People with dog shit for brains were never gonna vote the right way anyway. Instead of letting Fox News and Newsmax tell them to vote for Nazis, they’re gonna let ChatGPT tell them to vote for Nazis.

    I don’t really see this moving the needle much

    ChatGPT won’t make your gasoline or groceries any cheap cheaper.

      I really wish I could agree with you, it’s just that I think there’s plenty of people with opinions I mostly agree with on the left that still have dog shit for brains. They also just get pressured into better opinions (for now). These are the people who are more easily converted from left to right and vice-versa, the ones who prioritize a candidate’s shallow charisma above everything, who the political ads and propaganda work on, the bulk of the swing state voters, the democrats who really entertained the idea that Trump might drain the swamp, et cetera. I wish we could ignore them, but we can’t. We have to accept that the bigger fight is made up of smaller fights which do matter. Otherwise it’s just coping and hoping. IMO.
