An anonymous reader quotes a report from MIT Technology Review: New research reveals that AI chatbots can shift voters` opinions in a single conversation -- and they`re surprisingly good at it. A multi-university team of researchers has found that chatting with a politically biased AI model was more effective than political advertisements at nudging both Democrats and Republicans to support presidential candidates of the opposing party. The chatbots swayed opinions by citing facts and evidence, but they were not always accurate -- in fact, the researchers found, the most persuasive models said the most untrue things. The findings, detailed in a pair of studies published in the journals Nature and Science, are the latest in an emerging body of research demonstrating the persuasive power of LLMs. They raise profound questions about how generative AI could reshape elections.

If the Trump administration really wants to stem the flow of drugs to the U.S., it ought to bring the right resources to bear. Rather than aircraft carriers and submarines, what’s needed are more Coast Guard cutters and Drug Enforcement Administration operatives. Rather than threatening Colombia and Mexico — the main sources of cocaine and fentanyl — the U.S. should be working with them to develop intelligence on cartels’ financial and logistics networks. If drones or special operations forces are required for specific missions, they should be employed with the full cooperation of host countries, not unilaterally.

Scientists believe nutrition could play a role in restoring balance, though more research is needed. Many Americans already fall short of recommended choline intake, making diet a potential area of interest.
