Artificial intelligence chatbots are becoming part of the election process as some voters use the tools to seek information about their ballots and ask which candidates they should support.
The Boston Globe described the current campaign as the first-ever AI election, while the San Francisco Standard warned voters to exercise care when consulting chatbots about ballot choices. Futurism reported that some Americans are asking ChatGPT directly which candidate to vote for.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story needs an overstatement corrected and an unsupported analytical sentence removed. - "The Boston Globe described the current campaign as the first election substantially shaped by AI": The source title says the “first-ever AI election is underway,” but does not support the stronger claim that the election is substantially shaped by AI. - "The reports point to growing use of generative AI in voters’ decision-making, though they do not establish how widespread the practice is or whether chatbot responses have changed voting behavior.": This is the writer’s unsupported inference and commentary about what the sources do not establish.
