yeah okay great look uh these ads can these ai generated ads can use some fictionalized accounts that people are aware of uh you use the trojan horse and the head of the trojan horse is javier becerra but what comes out of the javier becerra is kamala harris and gavin newsom so they generate a story uh it's usually violent or fictionalized it has uh the the fire in the background we saw this in the la mayor's race in the primary with Pratt versus Karen Bass.

It allows you to flip things around very quickly and generate that key kind of component of entertainment linked with politics, right? If politics was, you know, Hollywood for ugly people, as the saying goes, then what has happened under AI is you're able to create This blending and blurring of lines between the fictionalized good versus bad, that evil versus good, whatever, light versus dark, however you want to characterize it, that's really made for TV, made for AI, and it allows for this generation of two different...

different views of the world.

They're about distinction or difference.

I mean, if you listen to the president, most of America is in favor of the Iran war.

If you listen to the president, his popularity has never been higher.

If you listen to the president, all things are kind of moving forward.

Americans aren't worried about gas prices.

That's all a fantasy.

Is this really that dramatic?
