I asked Kagi's AI to research the ambiguous candidates and propositions. I had it put them into a political alignment chart - left/centrist/rightwing. Addendums for candidates included things like whether they had criminal convictions or corruption, stance on vaccinations, how they feel about "tough on crime", the homeless, ect. For propositions, the political alignments had a fourth entry added, where the yes/no included the wealth level of backers for a position. This is very useful, completing in a hour what would have taken a week of research. Very useful for digging into the mechanical details of a proposition, like whether it prevented the replacement or supplementing of a measure. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] ryrybang@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (6 children) How do you know that anything it displayed was accurate for those candidates?
