In a shocking op-ed, a Huffington Post writer suggests that President Biden’s campaign should consider using artificial intelligence to deceive voters into believing he’s fitter and healthier than he is. The writer argues that the stakes of the election justify such deception, proposing AI-generated videos to present a smoother, more articulate Biden. Despite admitting this could be misleading, the writer believes it’s a necessary tactic to defeat Trump. This provocative idea has sparked a heated debate on the ethics of using AI in politics, as Biden’s recent debate performance and health concerns fuel the controversy.
In an unusual op-ed, Huffington Post writer Kaivan Shroff urged that President Joe Biden and his team explore utilizing artificial intelligence to trick the American people into voting for them.
Shroff began by stating that “the stakes” of the election “cannot be overstated” because the survival of democracy “hangs in the balance,” hyperbole that, he assured the reader, “is not hyperbolic.”
He believes that defeating former President Donald Trump is “the greatest moral and ethical imperative for those who care about American democracy”.
As a result, the objectives justified the means, even if that meant continuing the campaign’s ongoing efforts to gaslight low-information voters into believing Biden is fitter and healthier than he is, but with extra support from AI to more “effectively reach the voting public.”
It’s unclear whether the campaign has previously used this strategy in what appear to be the president’s more coherent moments on tape.
While Shroff acknowledged that employing AI to depict a smoother, more articulate Biden could be dishonest, he finally judged that such deception would be worthwhile if it resulted in a Biden victory.
“We must ask the question, are augmented AI videos that present Biden in his best form―while sharing honest and accurate information―really more socially damaging than our information ecosystem’s current realities?” Shroff wrote. “I think not.”
Such discussions appear to be unavoidable for the left following Biden’s catastrophic debate performance last month, for which his supporters have thrown out every reason under the sun as Trump surges in swing state surveys.
On Wednesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blamed Biden’s jet lag from a flight weeks before to the debate, as well as an alleged cold.
“It’s the jet lag and also the cold–it is the two things that occurred,” Jean-Pierre told reporters at a Tuesday press conference.
Biden allies have previously used AI as an excuse—but on the opposite end, accusing Republicans of threatening to spread disinformation by manipulating the tape in Biden’s Special Counsel interview with Robert Hur.
Hur’s decision not to seek charges was based on the interview, which concluded Biden was unfit to stand trial for the felony.
However, Attorney General Merrick Garland insisted that he was under no obligation to provide the audio file, citing executive privilege. House Republicans held him in contempt of Congress and then filed a lawsuit, which might have legal ramifications for Garland in the next administration.
Leftists suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome have become increasingly agitated in the face of a Biden candidacy, suggesting even more radical, dangerous, and anti-democratic measures to resist the people’s will.
Matthew Croyle, a Pennsylvania congressman, became viral for all the wrong reasons on Wednesday after writing a post on X suggesting that leftists with Trump-supporting relatives kill them now before they have the opportunity to attack first.
Recently, GreatGameIndia reported that President Joe Biden, backed by his family and advisors, is launching a major PR campaign to counter calls for him to drop his re-election bid after a disastrous debate raised concerns about his cognitive health.
