AI Politicians

Artificial intelligence has now entered politics with AI candidates running for Congress. Eyewitnesses at rallies say the robots waved mechanically while promising “faster tax returns.” Professor Hannah Collins of Harvard explains: "AI candidates can process policy faster, but they lack scandals — which is half of politics." Anonymous staffers leaked that one AI crashed during a debate after being asked about feelings. A Pew poll shows 54% of Americans would vote for an AI if it lowered gas prices. Trace evidence includes campaign posters printed in binary and robo-calls that literally came from robots. Cause and effect? The more humans fail, the more machines look appealing. Democracy may soon run on batteries, not ballots.
