Raw LLM Responses

This is a very tough needle to thread. She is trying to carve out a narrow ban, but I don't think it will fly, even with such a narrow window. AI doesn't do anything that couldn't be done before, it just makes it faster and cheaper. Cuomo could have hired an actor and makeup artist to create a fake Mamdani eating rice with his hands. It would have cost him time and more importantly much more campaign resources to be that racist without AI, but it still could be done. I don't see how limiting AI like this won't be thrown out as limiting free speech. Impersonation when done for satirical reasons is legal. If you are trying to pass off a creation as real, that is fraud, and that should be targeted. Being a racist asshole is legal, no matter what tools are used. The bigger issue is that while politics has never been polite, the attacks are getting worse and more frequent. Even before AI, campaigns were using photoshop to create distorted images of their opposition. The rhetoric is becoming nastier, crueler and more unhinged. I don't think you can legislate your way out of this mess, I think society needs to stop rewarding bad behavior from candidates and if they lose with such disreputable tactics, they will stop deploying them. The problem is that while people SAY they hate all of the negatives ads, those ads usually work to some degree.
