AI helped me with my voting ballot. 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.

    That’s a lot of words just to say you’re an idiot that would rather offload important critical thinking skills to a piece of software that a rational person wouldn’t trust to provide a cookie recipe.

    Better to be an idiot, than to be an jackass. I wouldn't trust you to be a good person.

    Also, the cornbread recipe the AI gave me an hour ago is pretty damn good. Perfectly adjusted to my ingredient list, tools, and pan size, and specifics like whether I want the food to be moist or dry.

    How do you know that anything it displayed was accurate for those candidates? Every single time I've asked it to include source links, those source links don't actually support the AI's statement.

    One of the candidates was appointed to their office by a Republican governor, and elevated more recently by a Democratic one. The AI referred to official government records.

    Well, that's one candidate. And a reference to an official gov doc doesn't meant the info was extracted or summarized accurately.

    How about the others?
