This is propaganda to get the left to stay home and not vote.

The general thrust of the article is just that voters don’t want to vote for someone backed by the LLM industry. Propaganda like you’re describing exists, but this is not it.

Ok, maybe not propaganda, but misleading.

Three quarters of the likely voters said that they would be less apt to vote for a candidate if they found out they had accepted a donation from an AI Super PAC.

Less apt? Grandpa may hate AI, but that's not going to stop him from voting for Mike Rogers. These articles create a false sense of victory and that hurts the left.

Where is your evidence of this?
