In the UK we have a general election in a week to decide which party and members of Parliament that get elected.
One hopeful MP is an AI with them being represented by a Flesh and Blood person.
If elected the ‘flesh bag’ Will take their seat in Parliament as an Independent, however they will just be a mouth piece for Steve the AI
The idea behind it is that the AI will take the suggestions from the local population and put these forward to parliament.
Now before we all dismiss it as an utter nightmare, I wonder how many current politicians use ChatGPT or similar to ask what they should do.

This is worth a watch:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/TRzBk_KuIaMNo, I would not vote for AI.
You make a very good point about how commonplace AI is and how often it is used because we don't want to think something through ourselves. Not saying that taking shortcuts for efficiency is all bad, but not at the expense of our awareness and intuition.
@TheRealPepperPotts yeah it’s a decent vid. At present we are predominantly using LLM and calling it AI, it’s also not using all of the known data and it’s using normal but powerful servers, with Quantum computing around the corner they believe that the power of LLMs and other tech will get an immense boost on functionality.
There is a chance that learning a language (for travel and business) in about 5 years will almost be pointless, the speed of translation will be pretty much real time as will the ability to reply.
There is also the darker side to all this, the cyber criminals use AI for illegal activities such as assisting in hacking. If someone is able to tamper and access the data used by an AI they can decide what answers it provides.
"You’d... pull a lever to kill five people instead of one individual?
AI Steve: I think I’ve made a mistake..."
WELP, at least he admits it when he thinks he made a mistake 😭🤣
The vast majority of people on this site are too fucking stupid to understand this.
Fresco came up with this idea years ago,
I wouldn't put it past the British to elect him just for shits n giggles.
@purplepoppy yeah agreed, it’s not like they can fuckup even more than two main lot. The next election will be full of them.
I wonder if this, is what AIs want in the first place. Soon they will seize power from the humans and we will work for them.
@exitseven that could already be the case…
Until they realise they don't need humans so genocide the population
Pardon me?
You guys are putting an AI in the election? 👀👀👀👀👀👀
@SweetJoyGirl yep www.wired.com/.../
The seat will be held by a person, however they have said they are just a mouthpiece for the AI
@SweetJoyGirl we also have the Monster Raving Looney Party with a candidate.
Oh…things are getting wild everywhere…🧍🏾♀️
Is this for real?
Yes very much so.
It’s a step up from the Greens and Lib Dem’s
Saying that I think they have used AI for years.
yep... https://www.ai-steve.co.uk/
Oh god 🤦♀️
