This is the best summary I could come up with:


Florida Governor Ron Desantis, who often sounds like an AI chatbot, dropped out of the 2024 Presidential Election on Sunday, just a week after OpenAI banned ChatGPT for political campaigns.

“People want to know and trust that they are interacting with a real person,” OpenAI said in a blog post last week, talking about ChatGPT but also, somehow, Desantis.

The Florida governor certainly embraced technology, becoming the first to announce a presidential campaign on Elon Musk’s X, in a Twitter Space that cut in and out for 20 minutes.

An AI chatbot for Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips, a Democratic candidate challenging the incumbent President Biden, was suspended over the weekend by OpenAI, according to The Washington Post.

For example, when the Florida governor was asked what he was eating for dinner after a debate one night, he answered, “Yea, we’ll let her rip.” Not quite a normal, human response, unlike others who responded with “salmon” or “enchiladas.” In another instance, someone at a car show made a light joke, causing Desantis to convulse and erupt in extreme laughter, with everyone staring at his malfunction.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman banning the use of ChatGPT in political campaigns is likely a positive development for AI.

I don’t think so. Most of the big LLMs have guardrails to prevent them from spitting out hate speech.

That smile is so off putting, and his laugh is like that of an evil psychopath

That’s not a smile, that’s trapped wind.

“The @RonDeSantisFL path to the WH was to be bigger than Donald Trump, a problem solver who brought different sides together. Instead he’s running a petty, angry campaign, Ted Cruz without the personality. Why? Because that’s who he is. A small, angry guy who needs attention.”

If Desantis is powered by ChatGPT, there are several kinks to be worked out. For example, when the Florida governor was asked what he was eating for dinner after a debate one night, he answered, “Yea, we’ll let her rip.” Not quite a normal, human response, unlike others who responded with “salmon” or “enchiladas.” In another instance, someone at a car show made a light joke, causing Desantis to convulse and erupt in extreme laughter, with everyone staring at his malfunction.

I had to doublecheck to see if I wasn’t reading The Onion, or is Gizmodo doing joke articles now. Is Desantis really this mechanical in real life?

Apparently you haven’t seen him attempt to wear cowboy boots.

If someone told me that a public figure was really a giant lizard wearing a peoplesuit, there are only two people I’d genuinely believe: Mark Zuckerberg, and Ron DeSantis.

DeSantis’ mannerisms are just so… Off? It’s like a weird sort of uncanny valley, where his smile is obviously fake and feels like a trap. It feels like an alien trying to act human.
