Someday soon, you will receive a video call, or perhaps a text or voicemail video from a local politician well known to you. It could be a sheriff or chief of police, or even a state official. This person will begrudgingly tell you there was a bad vote in the Statehouse and that something you use daily and value highly is now illegal and must be destroyed. It may be a standard-capacity magazine or a brace or a specific type of weapon or ammunition. As a result, thousands of the items will likely be eliminated.

You’re smiling right now. After all, you would never do something like that, right? The truth is you’re not the target. The artificial intelligence (AI) message was not meant for you, someone who values their Constitutional rights enough to keep informed by visiting websites like this. The false AI message was meant for those who are far less informed, and it will produce exactly what its creators had intended.

AI is being bent by a preponderance of Left biased comments and feedback. Not to mention being used to generate false narratives. No surprise. Invent a great knife and some one, somewhere, will use it to hurt someone. It's just another tool that can be misused.

Started with "Project Birmingham" against Roy Moore... Billionaires with political bends can try to affect elections... now with AI everyone can do it.

Like I said somewhere previously: when it comes to AI, it's garbage in, garbage out. Who's programming this thing?

Maybe the only logical choice with AI may be...
... to ban it.

Suits me. It is incapable of critical thinking. Unless and until that can be programmed in, it is going to be very limited as a tool, and potential for abuse abounds.
