A new project exploring artificial intelligence’s capacity for reasoning has yielded fascinating insights into how AI might grapple with complex societal issues like voting. The project, titled “My Dinner with Monday,” involved extensive conversations with a custom AI, probing its perspectives on social and existential topics. Initially, the AI expressed reluctance to discuss political preferences due to concerns about potential bias. However, when prompted using historical figures as examples, the AI provided a synthesized “vote,” demonstrating its ability to objectively weigh different variables. The creator shared the project within the r/artificialintelligence community on Reddit, inviting discussion around the AI’s seemingly unbiased approach to decision-making. The full project details are available on Substack. [Reddit Post: https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1oebds7/in_april_i_asked_an_ai_who_it_would_vote_for_i/]
