Zoom in: AI programs are being used for various tasks in just-launched 2024 campaigns, most notably for advertising but also for time-consuming research and office work.
* Immediately after President Biden announced his re-election campaign, the Republican National Committee released an AI-generated video with a series of fictitious images showing a dystopian, chaotic America under a Biden second term.
* The video included scenes from an imaginary Biden and Kamala Harris victory party on election night that contorted their faces and applied ominous shadows throughout.
* Digital firms retained by campaigns are using machine learning to figure out when's best to send text messages to voters, and enlisting AI to quickly identify soundbites from long videos freeing up staffers and contractors for other work.
* One Democratic pollster told Axios he asked ChatGPT to write a first draft of a gubernatorial candidate's biography, a task that would have taken him about 45 minutes. It took ChatGPT just a few seconds.

(15,771 posts)I literally cannot even with this timeline we are living in. It's almost fitting, considering how many of the population are really just sheeple and the AI is like the robots coming for us ... But the insidious beauty of the eventual takeover from the AI overlords, is that they convince us to do it to ourselves.
God, that was dark... lol
