Contacting potential voters online using AI has to be cheaper than going door to door. Can it also be more truthful?
Brad Parscale helped Trump win in 2016 using Facebook ads. Now he’s back, and an AI evangelist
… Parscale, the digital campaign operative who helped engineer Trump’s 2016 presidential victory, vows that his new, AI-powered platform will dramatically overhaul not just polling, but campaigning. His AI-powered tools, he has boasted, will outperform big tech companies and usher in a wave of conservative victories worldwide.
It’s not the first time Parscale has proclaimed that new technologies will boost right-wing campaigns. He was the digital guru who teamed up with scandal-plagued Cambridge Analytica and helped propel Trump to the White House eight years ago. In 2020, he had a public blowup then a private falling out with his old boss after the Capitol riot. Now he’s back, playing an under-the-radar role to help Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, in his race against Democratic President Joe Biden.
Parscale says his company Campaign Nucleus can use AI to help generate customized emails, parse oceans of data to gauge voter sentiment and find persuadable voters, then amplify the social media posts of “anti-woke” influencers, according to an Associated Press review of Parscale’s public statements, his company websites, slide decks, marketing materials and other documents not previously made public.

OpenAI Says It Can Now Detect Images Spawned by Its Software—Most of the Time
Startup’s new tool detects 98% of pictures generated by its DALL-E 3 system, but success drops if the images are altered
… OpenAI said its new tool is about 98% accurate in detecting content created by DALL-E 3 under most circumstances—if the image isn’t altered. When those images are screenshot or cropped, the classifier is slightly less successful, but can still often make an accurate identification.
The tool’s performance declines further under certain conditions, such as when the hue of those images is changed, said Sandhini Agarwal, an OpenAI researcher focused on policy in an interview.
