For the first time I’m seeing heavy AI in these ads. There is usually a small blurb about the use of digital images. I’m curious to see how quickly the elected officials will push to stop this. They only care when it’s there ox that’s gored.
To be clear, I’m not referring to the obvious AI ads like Pratt, though I suspect the Machine is looking into those as well. The swamp has the great advantage of money in traditional campaigns. AI will upset the apple cart.

AI is very helpful at times but in itself, it's not the be-all, end-all thing I think everyone thinks it is.

As far as using AI for graphics and video, it's inevitable and I know it but there is something inside of me that cringes at it.

I do not like it for political ads. Politics has become more and more anti-human as it is.

It also makes me not want to do business with any company that uses it or the company who uses it for automated scheduling and talking on the phone. I'm probably being irrational but I'm not a fan of it directly replacing a human being. I know it's coming though.

The first time I noticed AI being used in a political ad is when I was in Texas back in February. I kept seeing an ad for that dumb ghetto ho Crockett where the ad ends with her standing in the middle of a street crossed-armed and what looked to be 10,000 other people standing behind her. My son and I cracked up laughing the first time we saw it.
