even beyond political elections.

Since we know that MAGAs are using it now for political ads, we need to get ahead of this right away with our own ads, using some specific examples of AI errors that people can recognize and relate to. The ads don't have to address a specific campaign. They can be done like a public service announcement.

Or, if addressing a specific campaign, we can use a general example first of AI error, then a specific example of an AI ad that targets a candidate, followed by verifiable facts.

I personally have been annoyed when doing a search and getting an AI overview on a subject which I know has errors.
