Voters can talk to AI Steve, whose name will be on the ballot for the U.K.'s general election next month, to ask policy questions or raise concerns.

    Meh what’s the difference, a digital nonsense machine or an IRL nonsense machine, both with 0 accountability

    It’s a bullshit stunt but I would probably vote for Chatgpt over my city’s mayor. Hey at least it would only cost $20 a month.

      One thing that I would consider quite nice about an AI politician is that you can run them through simulations and find out what they would do under various scenarios. Put the AI in a scenario where it’s offered a bribe, put it in a scenario where it has to cast a vote on a particular bill, and so forth, and you’ll find out exactly what sort of AI it really is.

      Of course, consistency will depend on its operators. So there’d need to be some careful oversight.
