“Sitting congressman Don Beyer won’t bother debating Bentley Hensel, a long-shot independent candidate, so Hensel made an AI version of Beyer to debate instead.”
Couldn’t you just find a journalist who agrees to give you a tough interview? I guess that doesn’t grab headlines like AI does
Once Christopher Hitchens’ debate partner refused to show up for a debate about religion, so he literally debated for both sides. It was amazing. I’ve looked for it again on YouTube for years but I haven’t been able to find it.
Anyway, that’s a lot more creative.
Happened the same in Uruguay presidential elections this same week
This seems very not cool.
It’s a little cool as long as all the AI does is play a different fart noise on every cue.
Don’t do him any favors. Would be better of doing a Clint Eastwood.
