You know what else costs a fraction of traditional polling and takes a fraction of the time?
Lying, making shit up. Which conveniently is basically what AI slop does, and having a person lie is even cheaper than licensing some random AI to do it.
Ah, but licensing the AI lets you blame the AI when it inevitably blows up
That is exactly it, the AI gives them an excuse to blame someone else even as they had every reason to know, and they did know, we all know they know but the courts pretend like they didn't know because the Federalist Society.
