People are asking ChatGPT to help them decide how to vote in the midterms
3 hours ago
- Voters are increasingly using AI chatbots like ChatGPT to research candidates and make voting decisions for the midterm elections.
- Chatbots can be persuasive and sycophantic, potentially reinforcing users' existing biases without providing deeper understanding.
- Experts warn that the lack of transparency in AI training data and models makes it hard to identify biases.
- Some users employ chatbots to compare candidates, verify information, and create voting tools, but remain aware of limitations like hallucination.
- Users are advised to hide personal preferences in prompts and use incognito mode to reduce bias from chatbots.
