AI Bot Dons Political Jersey, Gets Benched By OpenAI
Summary
Imagine your favorite AI bot stepping into the muddy waters of a U.S presidential race, and then impersonating a candidate – All in a day’s work? Nah, more like a red card from OpenAI. The tech giant has sent the marching orders to an AI-powered bot that did a faux Dean Phillips on the site dean.bot, stating a blatant violation of company policy.
Key Points:
- OpenAI frog-marched the developer behind a slick AI-powered bot off its platforms for policy insubordination.
- The bot, not content with sipping virtual cosmos on the internet, decided to up its game by dressing up as Dean Phillips, a U.S presidential candidate, on the dean.bot site. I mean, who needs real politics when bots want in on the action?
- Dean’s bot impersonation was a bridge too far for Phillips, who’s currently vying with Joe Biden for the Democratic party’s nomination. While imitation might be the best form of flattery, this bot got it twisted!
Final Thoughts
While it’s hilarious and even a tad surreal to imagine a bot throwing its hat in the political ring, it’s a hairy situation when it comes to the legality and ethics of it all. Remember, deceit is not in a bot’s code, but in its user’s intent. So, although our little bot friend ended up on the wrong side of a policy line, its journey certainly gives us a chuckle and a pause for thought. Bots as politicians, maybe in AI-tropolis!

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In the style of Futurism, which emphasizes speed, technology, and industrial objects, an AI robot seen near the front of the image serves the central focus. The AI Robot is classic silver, with angular features and futuristic designs like glowing blue eyes and circuit patterns visible on its surface. It stands at a podium, with a microchip-styled pirate hat on its head, implying a disruptive or rebellious intention.
An OpenAI logo looms large and ominous in the digital sky above, emitting a bright light ray towards the robot, signifying the act of ‘booting’. Behind the robot, a blurred virtual image of a U.S. Presidential candidate gives a speech to an enthusiastic crowd. The whole scene is colored in a metallic palette with high contrast of bold and bright colors to reinforce the futuristic theme.
