The election is almost enturely determined by this type of guy.

So glad we're burning down the planet for this.

To be fair technically it can use the internet, its just a deliberate decision not to allow internet searching for "reasons", perhaps that would make it even worse given the plagiarism.

Snapchat's AI model was adamant that Queen Elizabeth II was still alive up until a few months ago.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 45 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Also spikes for searches like "who is kamala Harris" or "who is trump" or "why does my butthole itch"

Asking the real questions here

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

why is Joe Biden? anybody?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 45 points 2 months ago

These are the only people I envy

[–] Thorngraff_Ironbeard@hexbear.net 44 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Seems like people are voting for Robert Kennedy too, not sure if they are unaware he dropped out or they are the never trump type.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 31 points 2 months ago

I have to assume at least 2% of voters choose a completely random name on their ballot

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Isn't he still on the ballot in some places? Like he dropped out but after some legal time limit or whatever

[–] Thorngraff_Ironbeard@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sounds about right. In bad country they keep people who don't even wanna run on the ballot.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

In bad country fake candidates are added to the ballot to fool the people into thinking anyone other than dear leader is in the running

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Yep, he was still on mine. I sincerely hope he carries a few districts here just so that Trump doesn't completely run away with it in this hellhole of a state, but what the hell can you do.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Trend of people searching "was RFK shot in 68"

[–] AndyCapps@hexbear.net 38 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's why you gotta write him in

Only in death does duty end

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

Listen, Jack, your watch has not ended!

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's electable if you vote for him

[–] Saleri@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

There are some timelines where he's actually forced to stay in office for a few more years beacuase enough people wrote him in.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Did he died?

AI RESULT: Yes Joe Biden died June 23 2024 while shitting on the toilet and cursing Corn Pop.

Trillbilly bit of rural guy that's never heard of covid, but is deeply concerned about cancel culture.

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

He was the only one who could defeat Trump - but when the liberals needed him most, he vanished

[–] asante@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Living their best lives

[–] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't know that it's that many people, the year-long trend looks a lot different.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

6% of the amount that searched at the time it happened still seems like a lot.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

I wonder what that's like, just living in that information void.

[–] Tripbin@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

they didnt even know to vote for biden in 2020 till after everyone dropped out and the msn just repeated Biden until it was the only name they were familiar with at the ballot.
