I wonder how long before someone works out how to manipulate the AI and get it to say things the campaign didn't intend.

Hopefully not long. If you're gonna put up with an almost literal robo caller, better for it to be an insane-sounding one that brings whomever would subject people to it more trouble than the savings are worth..

"What is the candidates position on abortion, and why did he have one himself when he was a young teen girl?"

Ah I see, since it's not pre-recorded it doesn't violate the robo call laws. This is going to get annoying really fucking fast

We are all dead and this is hell. No other explanation for this.

I've said this before, but this is not the future we all expected or signed up for.

Non-compulsory voting is one of the biggest problems in the US system.

Everyone always bangs on about their rights in a democracy but what about the responsibility of deciding who runs the place?

It leads to "We have to make our base angry enough to get off their arses and vote". rather than "What policies will appeal to the most people".
