You're a year too late.

Will? Already have.

Isnt that the whole point of AI?

...i think i should be more worried about the 'guardrails' that have been obliterated...

You telling me those images of Trump swimming through flood waters to save people in a hurricane haven't already swayed voters? Lol

If all you do is read the little statements booklet they send out, and then do the mail vote based on that, then AI is not in the loop unless the candidate is dumb enough to paste chatbot output into their statement.

Seriously people, get your friends and family off of the ragebait rectangle. Most "news" media today is just opinion wrapped with ads about content they bought from Reuters and AP.

AI wont change much. Most people already dont inform themselfs and dont vote based on the partys/peoples records, standings, goals and what is best for everyone. They mostly vote on feelings, what they have always voted, or "to show them".

They cant even remember more than what happend 6 days ago.

Example:

Germany. Since schmidt got backstabbed by his party the conservatives took over, who ofc didnt do anything to improve the nation. No investments but took the money that was supposed to go into investments like germany wide glas fiber cable into his friends from variouse lobbys in this case copper cables for TV. Reunification just fell into Kohls lap, the government gutted the new eastern states of all its industry, wealth and prosperity. They ruled for 16 years. Then the country voted for Schröder the old russian puppet because he drank beer with people and "seemed like a decent man with whom you can have a drink with". He with his neo-liberal approach did quite the damage to the social system and his tax increases and the jobmarket problems killed him. Then 16 years conservative Merkel rule where nothing happened. And so much corruption its crazy! But people got MAD at the Scholz Administration for actually wanting to change thing for the better. "THE GREEEEEEENS! ENVIORMENTAL FRiendly reeee!!" And so, they voted in, THE FUCKING CONSERVATIVES WITH A BLACKROCK LOBBYIST CHANCELOR CANDIDAT WHO IS LOVEY DOVEY WITH THE FASCISTS AND NAZIS OF THE AFD! And who even while campagning told everyone that his government will be packed full of the most corrupt ministers of the merkel administrations just in different ministrys, and litteral lobbyists! And still 25% of germans think that the litteral russian puppets, who are proven to be lead by fascist Bernd Höcke, employing russian and chinese spies, who throw out nazi slogans and speech like an "amen" in the church, who litteraly write that they'll undo all social systems and lower the tax of the rich, plus want to leave the EU which would cripple germany in a few years harder than it did the UK, would fix it all...by deporting people. Be it german potatoes, imigrants, refugees, germans with migrant family background. The AfD wants to deport them all

People are fucking idiots. But as a wise old person once said:

"Democracy is for the people, by the people. But the people are retarded"

It already helped to sway the Slovakian elections, and arguably the US elections too.

Been doing that for years. Unless you think everyone got magically more fascist out of nothing.

What "will"? They and asocial media didn't have already?

Baaaa 🐑

AI doesn't do anything. People use AI to [insert the action every hack rag of stain that gets posted] .

Add AI bullshit to the usual election lies and dirty tricks.
Food prices are soaring - maybe AI can figure out how to convince the people that they aren't starving.

dint it already last election, it was all up in YOUTUBE just before the elections. which Youtube has made anofficial statement, they wont take down election denial(also extends to any form of propaganda from the right about politics)

So AI slop doesn't get generated, just imagine the visual of the Egyptologist from The Mummy holding a GPU, saying, "What have we done?", while covered in dickflies.
