That was so weird to watch.

The article references two videos; the AI MPREG Schoolhouse Rock Bill:
https://nitter.privacyredirect.com/andrewcuomo/status/1983919479936409617?
where ~~the worst~~ one particularly ridiculous thing (apart from the obvious) is the totally unironical ChatGPT impersonation. It says "It's true" unironically. Really, this video wants its watchers to ask ChatGPT how competent Mamdani is. It's not an oracle ffs. It's not real!
The other video:
https://nitter.privacyredirect.com/prem_thakker/status/1981150231174746370? They took that one down because of racism.

But really, both videos are total trash both technically and content wise. People should be outraged that their taxes are being wasted to produce this slop (to quote one of the vids).

You think the worst part about the video is that chatgpt said "it's true"?

I think the part that bothers me the most is the fact Cuomo apparently paid for that slop?

Wow, that first one was so bad. Like every part about it was bad. I am surprised anyone “paid” for it to run anywhere.
