Voters Turning to ChatGPT for Advice on Which Candidate to Back

Original: Particularly Weak-Minded Americans Are Asking ChatGPT Which Candidate to Vote For, Which Sounds a Bit Like AI Is Just Vo

Reports say American voters are asking ChatGPT which candidates to vote for ahead of the midterm elections. Commenters mock the practice as lazy, with some arguing that relying on AI for electoral choices amounts to the technology voting through human proxies. The story has reignited debate over how much influence AI systems should have in democratic politics and whether their recommendations carry hidden bias.

Why now: Concerns are growing that voters may be outsourcing political judgment to AI chatbots ahead of the US midterms.
