I think Neal Stephenson’s vision in Interface is more likely. An AI augmented candidate that adjusts and responds to sentiment in near real time with the right signals coming in, trained to manipulate and appeal.

An LLM would probably win a landslide victory over its (human) opposition, if the voters don't know that they are voting for a robot.

We (the voters) could also have our own LLMs that the candidate LLM would have to convince to vote for them. We can totally abstract away the whole campaigning BS, just let the LLMs duke it out for us!

A robot ran for president in 2016 and lost.

sounds like that's going to be more of a textualist than living document LLM ;-)

> LLM model running for President

It would need to be 35 years old and born in the USA.

Just use a proxy human to pass through the output from the LLM
