Campaigns Are Hiding Their AI EP 97

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYCPc0sfv1k

This week, we discuss why so few campaigns seem to be experimenting with A.I. The Times’s Sheera Frenkel joins us with examples of the many different artificial intelligence products that have been turned down by campaigns in this election cycle, from A.I.-generated endorsements from long-dead historical figures to a synthetic version of Donald Trump. Then, we interview the Wyoming man who ran for mayor on the promise that he would exclusively use a customized ChatGPT bot to run the city. And finally, it’s time for a tech check. We run down the apps we’re using to become more productive. • Chapters: • 00:00:00 - Coming up • 00:00:47 - This week on the show • 00:01:19 - ChatGPT roasts our Instagram feeds • 00:03:36 - A.I.
