"The Electoral Commission has called for new legal controls over misinformation from AI chatbots, after a thinktank found they had made serious mistakes during the recent Scottish election.
The thinktank Demos said its investigation had found that AI services gave voters misinformation to 34% of the questions it posed"

For decades, the Soviet Union promoted the unorthodox views of Trofim Lysenko,
an agronomist who used his close ties to the political leadership to spread misinformation denying Mendelian genetics.
What followed was a disaster:
many years of poor harvests based on unsupported science and suppression of the teaching and practice of modern genetics throughout the Soviet bloc.
A similar threat now hangs over U.S. science.

Electoral Commission says ministers should introduce clearer duties on AI platforms to protect voters against misinformation and ensure algorithms did not mislead voters, particularly during critical election periods. The problem is that AI platforms *can't do that*. LLMs can answer "what's the received wisdom about this programming topic?" because they've scraped all of Stack Overflow, but they don't *know* anything, especially not about news.

Listening to the Revolutions podcast and there are so many things that happened based on some mistake or misinterpretation then cascade faster than anyone expects. Honestly, after all the evil shit the oligarchs are doing, I really think it'll end up being some obscure parody or just misinformation that kicks off the insurrection in the US.
