AI doesn’t either! - A discussion of generative AI and political campaigning Darius, Philipp Verfassungsblog 2023-06-30 Text txt rdacontent Computermedien c rdamedia Online-Ressource cr rdacarrier “Why don’t politicians ever dance? – Because they have too many steps to backtrack on!” Chat-GPT answered this when we asked the program to tell a political joke. While this example is somewhat worrying since the underlying assumption might perpetuate existing stereotypes about politics and politicians, the joke also highlights that AI has become witty and incredibly good at behaving in a way we perceive as human. Thus, we take the recent advancements of generative AI as a motivation to analyze its potential effects on political campaigns and democratic elections.
