• Oh great. Another layer between a politician and accountability. “That wasn’t me, that was an AI that made those promises. We’ll be sure to discipline some people who did exactly what they were told so it looks like I did something about it, and we’ll keep right on doing what we’ve been .”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “Hola, soy el alcalde Eric Adams,” the mayor says in a monotone but flawless accent, before launching into a pitch for jobs with the city government.

    In October, the mayor’s office said he’s been using AI to blast his constituents with millions of robocalls in languages he doesn’t speak, including Yiddish, Spanish, Mandarin, Haitian Creole, and Cantonese.

    In India, an AI-generated video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi singing a popular Bollywood song racked up over 3.5 million views on Instagram in advance of upcoming elections.

    Similar videos of Modi singing songs in South Indian languages including Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada are going viral across the internet, though the politician only speaks Gujarati and Hindi.

    Advertisers will soon pair AI with all the personal data floating around the internet to generate countless different versions of the same ad and deliver special marketing copy just for you.

    “Once you call an [on-the-ground political worker] by his name, then he knows that ‘[the politician] knows me’ — he will be like a devotee forever, doesn’t need anything else,” Divyendra Singh Jadoun, who heads up the company working on the tech, told Rest of World.

    Yeh? I just opened a business. Robots can talk to me for $50 per minute. Me to talk back? They can’t afford it.

    Oh, hey, I just noticed you’re a robot. That’ll be $50.
