If you use AI to write your speeches, you clearly have not bothered to study the issue at hand and are therefore not qualified to be representing your constituents on said issue.

I think it's safe to assume 99% of the geriatrics aren't fit to be representatives.

Once again, we see AI being embraced by the lazy, the sloppy, and those allergic to effort.

Not like they wrote them before, it's just the fleshy staffers they had for the task are out of a job now.

Politicians deserve some prison for making fun of democracy by using AI like that.

I’m still waiting for the day when a politician reads: “As an AI model, I don’t have an opinion on this topic, but here’s a convincing speech on…”

Reminds me of the "I'm a black gay guy" tweet

For real - this one remains unforgettable. Thank you.

LOL. What a glorious quote. Goes to show why you shouldn’t be using short form microblogging services for a serious purpose like that.
Maybe just write a normal blog post about it and share the link on xitter? Nah, just paste and post. It’ll be fine…

You know that's not what was happening, right? The chud thought he logged into a different account and was trying to astroturf. Conservatives do this all the time

And with an em dash in the next tweet. Fucking lunatic. These guys are essentially just overpaid AI models, heavily quantized too.

Wasn't AI, this was back in early November 2020.

Can we talk about him powering through like nothing happened? I can’t figure out if he’s just a robot that has no concept of what he just read out loud or he’s hoping no one noticed.
T156@lemmy.world · 47 pts · 21d
That's the standard practice for speeches, where you just power through any mistakes you make while speaking and keep going.
Stopping, or going back to correct the mistake would interrupt the speech more than the mistake did.
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch · 6 pts · 21d
Yeah that makes sense. It was just weird to see I guess.

You are correct, we have always been at war with Eurasia.

politicians basically just read like AI verbatim anyways.

They're just robots when they're giving speeches.

It's not confirmation bias if the bias is confirmed, is it?
(For the non-canucks, the "progressive" part isn't supported by facts, so ya know)

>progressive >conservative So neither??
cheat700000007@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 21d
They like extracting oil and natural resources, but also giving it away near free to other countries (read: usa). So kinda both?

He's from New Brunswick, it's a bit different here.
We give all our forests to Irving, they wreck the environment, and we keep them in check by giving them huge tax breaks.
It's a win-win-win.

Every so often in Canada, conservatives get to be unpopular enough they need to merge with other parties so they can win. They merged with the Progressive Party a long time ago so that's what they're called Progressive Conservative in a lot of provinces. Except in Alberta where they had to do more mergers and they're the United Conservative Party now.
Federally, the Progressive Conservative Party later merged with the Reform party and I guess "reform" cancels out "progressive" so they're just the Conservative Party at the Federal level now.

Do we really need the position open if all they are doing is reporting on what the magic 8-ball showed them? We could pay minimum wage to some teen and save a big chunk of that wage money those politicians get too much of.

Unrelated to the topic at hand, but man, have his politics ruined this show for me harder than the terrible acting.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 21d
he had a series of strokes during a chiro adjustment, which made him CRAY cray, and it just unmased his jealousy for xena. he even had his own show, andromeda, he ruined thar too.

Not a prompt, it's the part of a conversational AI's response that isn't the requested content. A kind of framing, header or footer.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca · 13 pts · 20d
and of course he's a conservative
I was honestly hoping it wouldn't be a con just so I wouldn't feel so justified in shitting on them all the time

…I know the standard for what qualifies as an embarrassment is in the centre of the Earth down there, but uh… yeah, no. I trust the senile-yet-relatively-stable politician to say the less awful thing over Mr. Pedo-Genocide, thank you.
