r the rest of you. I'm just saying my personal choice.

All right I like Trump personally. Okay for what that's worth.

All right. Have you seen my campaign for California Senate is going well. So far the only activity is Machiavelli's Underbelly. The Twitter account that you shall be following which is running sort of a campaign for me with deep fakes. So there's a Shakespeare version of me that AI creates that gives speeches that I tweet when I see them. And now there's an Adam Schiff AI that gives a little talk as a goblin. So as Adam Schiff represented as a goblin. And so that's how my campaign is going.

Now what's happening with Machiavelli's Underbelly and these AI ad campaigns, they're not obviously super serious in terms of my running for Senate but it's telling you a lot about what's coming. You should take a look at them because imagine you could easily imagine a world in which the version of Adam Schiff as a goblin becomes viral and you can't get it out of your head. Now I don't know that this one will become viral. You know so far these tweets have stayed within a smallish community but it would only take one of them to break out. And the AI is so powerful and so visual that it could completely rebrand a candidate. Yeah it could totally rebrand the candidate.

Now the reason that the goblin one won't work is that the goblin that the AI created was kind of cute in a goblin way whereas Adam Schiff is sort of not. Like the actual Adam Schiff looks more like a creature than what AI created as the comical creature that was supposed to be him. The real one is super creepy. The artificial one was kind of cute. So it worked opposite of how the power of AI could work which is making the artificial one creepy.

You know the uncanny valley. I talk about it too much. It's the effect where if a robot looks like a proper robot it could be cute. Oh that's a cute little robot. But if you made an android that looked almost like a human but not quite it would be a frightening zombie look because it's like almost a person but why does it talk like this and its eyes are too open? Right you would be disgusted by it because it's almost human but there's something wrong. Ah it just makes you creep out.

Imagine AI taking a real politician speech and only adding the uncanny valley. Just like a three percent tweak so it is the person and when you look at it you're like I feel like this is the actual person talking because it would be. They would just be tweaked a little bit to make them look like the uncanny valley
