One step closer to Managed Democracy.

It's an idea from a video game where AI is spying on your life 24/7 and infers who you would vote for so you never actually need to (or can) vote.

How does this account for new information and changing environments? In a real-world setting, respondents are constantly updating themselves, whether consciously or not, by interacting with people, their communities, or their representatives.

Unless models are updated by attending town halls, interacting with communities, gaining some kind of lived experience to shape a view point, or something else I haven’t thought of, then I am unsure how robust this approach may be to a changing landscape.

Polling measures where things are. AI approximates where things were.
Somewhat related, the 1947 movie Magic Town.
