Meet VIC, an AI bot running for mayor in Cheyenne, Wyoming

Victor Miller, a mayoral candidate in Cheyenne, Wyoming, is advocating for an AI bot named VIC, or Virtual Integrated Citizen, to take on the role of mayor. Miller argues that human errors in politics lead to poor decision-making and believes that AI can provide superior outcomes by analyzing complex information quickly. He has created VIC using OpenAI's GPT-4 technology, positioning it as a serious contender in the upcoming election.

Miller's approach has sparked controversy, with opponents like fellow candidate Rick Coppinger calling for a ban on AI candidates. OpenAI, the company behind GPT-4, has expressed its disapproval of using its technology for political purposes and has repeatedly shut down Miller's accounts. Despite these challenges, Miller continues to promote his 'meat avatar system,' where a human facilitates the AI's decisions, claiming that this could lead to a future without traditional politicians.
