    Blimey, Cleverly really is trying to lay the ground work, isn’t he, it’s not 13 years of Torry mis-management at all is it - it’s those foreign actors. Do they send the boats, too??? /s

    There’s a difference between disinformation and “rigging an election”; disinformation will increase with AI, but most of the UK are not dependent on Social Media for information - and GBNews and TalkTV are dead in the water -“PopCons” are popular ‘in name only’!

    When even Jacob Reece-Mogg is starting to think FPTP doesn’t work “the end is nigh” - and, bloody hell, they are scared, aren’t they!

    AI deepfakes? - Bring it on! We’ll laugh at them in a very British way - with a bit of luck it’ll be as funny as Python or Blackadder, or possibly Spitting Image!

      There’s a difference between disinformation and “rigging an election”.

      Ah yes you’re right. Perhaps I misinterpreted the original article. Since the focus was on deepfakes my assumption was that by “rigged” they were referring to “influencing an election by spreading disinformation”.

      It will be very funny and cringe if the Tories blame their election loss on AI and not the… gestures broadly to everything.
