I like this not because I think the charbot will be any good but because it's clever stick wielded by this guy to get his opponent to debate him. Seems like the kind of thing that can only happen once though, and from here on we'll be seeing political takedown ads based on cherry picked excerpts from an LLM fine tuned on a political opponent's words.

I have no clue who this guy is or what his politics are but the True Representation Movement referenced in the article also seems interesting although potentially equally fraught as this AI scheme. https://truerepmovement.com/faq

This is like the guy who rode the wall in NASCAR like a video game before they banned the practice.
