    The frightening part is that the slop doesn’t have to fool informed voters. It just has to reach people who don’t follow politics closely, long before a fact check ever catches up. One polished fake clip can become their entire impression of a candidate. Apparently political advertising has discovered the perfect product: certainty without facts.

      If we ever manage to get the country back, we need to immediately ban AI-created political advertisements, and put teeth into the law.

        Just make it simpler; liability for not fact checking information and ban structurally important media from being for profit. Get too big? Congrats, you’ve been nationalized to serve public rather than private interest.
