It's a bullshit stunt but I would probably vote for Chatgpt over my city's mayor. Hey at least it would only cost $20 a month.

One thing that I would consider quite nice about an AI politician is that you can run them through simulations and find out what they would do under various scenarios. Put the AI in a scenario where it's offered a bribe, put it in a scenario where it has to cast a vote on a particular bill, and so forth, and you'll find out exactly what sort of AI it really is.

Of course, consistency will depend on its operators. So there'd need to be some careful oversight.

Meh what’s the difference, a digital nonsense machine or an IRL nonsense machine, both with 0 accountability

This is just a publicity stunt for the creators business

"Haha, lol, know that cool sci-fi cautionary tale? We should do that, but irl!"

Is this a Black Mirror episode or something?

Yeah, 25 seconds in to the video in the story they show Waldo!

This is par for the course in Britain.

I hope this fad passes soon and we return to traditional candidates such as Lord Buckethead or the Monster Raving Loony Party

Dude who it's modeled after and is on the ballot doesn't even own majority stake in the AI company... oligarchy with an ai mask

Hahahhhhaaha are you fucking kidding me? Come on. Black Mirror much?

Spoiler: far-right fuckstains with no jobs or life are the only ones interacting with this trash using Project2025 and white supremecist forums as source material to get fascist policies passed.

Fuck Sussex businessman Steve Endacott, and fuck this garbage.
