This morning, President Joe Biden released his official re-election video. It’s pretty classic: Dramatic piano chords underpin his somber-yet-hopeful voice, which promises to defend freedom and democracy for all Americans. The Republican National Committee wasted no time in clapping back with an AI-generated dystopian ad, which seems like a low-budget version of The Purge. The 2024 presidential race promises to be unlike any before it: Everything from campaign merch to policy briefs could theoretically be cooked up by robots. Adding to the chaos is the fact that one of the largest social distribution channels, TikTok, is a political quagmire for both parties.
