You said that you didn't pay much attention to this race, now you arrogantly tell me that I'm wrong (about the voting) and you're right! (classic liberal move)... Spencer Pratt is awesome (an All American asskicker) - it's very difficult to believe that there are more morons in LA than clear thinking, common sense, voters
I'm well aware of how long California takes to process its votes, and the order in which they count them. It's a highly inefficient system, and has been for decades. It's worthy of lots of criticism. That doesn't make the results corrupt, stolen, fake, or whatever.
Knowing such things and acknowledging facts doesn't make someone "arrogant," Steve. Arrogance is pretending that whatever nonfactual thing you WANT to be true (because of your feelings) IS true. That's what a lot of progressives (and you) do.
As I said in my piece, Los Angeles has long been one of the bluest districts in the country. It's famously a hub of progressivism, and has been for decades. Your inability to comprehend that more people there don't think like you would be like a hardcore lefty not understanding why Nancy Pelosi isn't more popular in Wyoming.
Using AI to emphasize what’s wrongs the political parties are doing and what wrongs the candidates have failed to do WAKES up the voter to see what’s wrong and needs correcting.
AI is being used to see if it’s a useful tool to wake up the voter.
Politics is not a 'lane' for purposeful fiction. And transparency is a cure for eliminating questions regarding election results.
Technologies have to mature. AI with its tremendous upside and impossible to ignore downside, is no different. Technology maturation identifies issues needing fixed.
With elections going the way of incumbents, there is no interest in going the extra step to assure all voters of result accuracy. Even if so, not all would believe.
I'm not clear what 'purposeful fiction' you have in mind- can you kindly give a few examples? Creative politics plays fiction vs non- fiction and created a lane of its own, no?
Hi Sharon. Purposeful fiction is anything intentionally made-up to entice voters in a certain direction. AI can easily do that perhaps masking the real candidate in the process. I'm opposed to allowing technology to present whatever candidates want.
Perhaps 'forum' would have been a better word that lane. Point is that elections should not be influenced by technology that makes fiction appear real.
Creative politics is not a license to allow fiction to be construed as fact.
Trump also takes full advantage of AI on his ‘truth social’ account. It's here to stay, unfortunately, and will only confound and confuse the ones who suffer from unconscious un-reality with the spark to fuel that emotion named “hate.” What a smokescreen to cloud the “truth.” Hate and truth have twisted meanings that veer off course.
I don't look at or review 'truth social' so I can't comment. What I've seen quoted from truth social however has not appeared AI enhanced. The rest of your thoughts here suggest to me that you're making things way more complicated than they need to be.
First, I don't follow truth social either. It pops up on my FB feed. Second, I'm not complicatig a thing. Many news feeds are displaying the AI generated images, to include the presidents. I'm not complicatng-- I'm simply trying to understand it. Some is comical, nasty, and ridiculous. I use AI for medical research, and not in a devious or gaslighting endeavour to deceive. I believe you misunderstood me.
That was certainly one of THE BEST commercials ever..... As they say "the toothpaste (AI) is out of the tube, and it's impossible to put it back in" Also - Spencer had a huge lead, and then a bazillion votes came in, in the middle of the night, all of those votes for the dems -- imagine that!?!?
He temporarily led for a SECOND PLACE finish, but was ultimately edged out by the other Democrat in the race (in a city that reliably votes around 73% Democratic).
Not liking the results of an election doesn't make it "stolen."
Bass won her primary. Biden won in 2020. Trump won in 2024. That's life.
AI and the Fox News false hope claims were never going to overcome the nearly 3 to 1 democrat over republican advantage in Los Angeles mayoral race. The same goes for Steve Hilton in the California Governors race. Sure, Hilton did okay when there were multiple Dems to split their vote. But now that it's one Dem versus one Rep, Hilton will get clobbered by the nearly 2 to 1 advantage the Dems have statewide.
John: It reminds me of the 'War of the World's' realistic radio broadcast decades ago and how a panic set in. Spooky. On another note, regarding California, Bill O'Reilly did a special last month for NewsNation as an investigate journalist on the ground in San Francisco highlighting the cities deterioration, drugs, and homelessness- contrasting that to Nancy Pelosi's side of town. You and Bernie should check that out. Bill just did another one for NewsNation in England on the Muslim influx and deterioration of the Brits society being aired this Autumn. Ought to be eye-opening.
Maybe in the future we'll be voting for AI politicians.

The "race," as in the CAMPAIGN, Steve.

FYI, Trump's Truth Social account puts out a lot of AI slop.
Thanks John.

Pratt never led in the vote count.

Oh, I'm well aware of how much of a mess San Francisco is (and has been for a long time). It's just awful.
