Voters in Wyoming’s capital city on Tuesday are faced with deciding whether to elect a mayoral candidate who has proposed to let an artificial intelligence bot run the local government.
Earlier this year, the candidate in question – Victor Miller – filed for him and his customized ChatGPT bot, named Vic (Virtual Integrated Citizen), to run for mayor of Cheyenne, Wyoming. He has vowed to helm the city’s business with the AI bot if he wins.
Miller has said that the bot is capable of processing vast amounts of data and making unbiased decisions.
I’m really interested in what data they will use to train the AI, and how they are going to wrangle it. Will they simply feed the text of any bills to it? Will they just use stock ChatGPT (or similar)?
Oddly, this is more vulnerable to human exploitation than AI. Through careful prompt engineering, it’s entirely possible to manipulate it to give whatever results are desired. They can then wash their hands of any repercussions.
Bold of you to assume it’s not gonna be stock ChatGPT.
“OH, training is gonna cost tens of thousands? It need a training set? And it’s gonna take how long? I’d rather pay for GPT 4”.
