Fuck AI. It's a dog shit technology as it exists right now. It definitely has no place in decision making in politics and other decisions that effect people's lives.
I can't wait until this bubble pops.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Always good to know a strong political movement being lead, when the creators, don't mention a single policy stance, state their past sides were based on which party hired them first... and formerly helped the tea party. So in short, their goal is to find districts of low turnout where voters aren't arsed to show up... giving an independent candidate a shot, with no indication of what that candidate will stand for.
If I had to be a betting man, I'm going to assume, it's going to be just like the tea party with a new strategy. IE it's stances will be determined by the same money that dominates the existing 2 parties, given the false air of being "independent", just like the tea party did.
These people think independents are centrist monoliths. Probably coincides with why they think AI is the solution for all of their problems, because they have no critical thinking skills.
The problem with having an internal set of critical thinking skills is it doesn't quickly and efficiently scale.
In a time when control of the House balances on a knife's edge, winning even a handful of seats could deny either party from getting a majority and upend the way the House currently operates.
So...
They want to permanently cripple our government so nothing gets done?
If you create a statistical model based on biased data. That model will perpetuate bias.
They tried to use AI to determine prison sentences for criminals.
Not surprisingly, it gave black people more harsh sentences. - for same criminal histories and crimes, compared to whites.
The creators argued that data showed blacks more likely to reoffend. But blacks also get harsher sentences first. And have a harder time getting jobs once out. More likely to be tried as adults for juvenile offenses. Not to mention less access to education/training/skill development.
The system caused the problem. And now it sought to reinforce it even more.
Herein lies the problem with prediction models. They use correlation data as if it's cause-and-effect data. When it isn't.
Ai is only statistical models based on data that's fed into it.
A human decides what data is used.
A human ultimately controls its output.
It's not objective. It's not unbiased.
