In a fascinating experiment, columnist Rod Miller handed over the reins to an AI chatbot to write a column, and the results were both intriguing and unsettling. The chatbot, named Claude, churned out a column that mimicked Miller’s style, complete with cowboy vernacular and exaggerated language. While some readers were fooled into thinking it was Miller’s work, others were more concerned about the implications of artificial intelligence in writing and politics. Miller’s son, Vic, has even filed to run for mayor of Cheyenne with the help of an AI-assisted campaign, raising questions about the role of AI in governance. As AI becomes increasingly sophisticated, it’s clear that we need to start thinking seriously about its impact on our lives and our politics.
