    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Florida Governor Ron Desantis, who often sounds like an AI chatbot, dropped out of the 2024 Presidential Election on Sunday, just a week after OpenAI banned ChatGPT for political campaigns.

    “People want to know and trust that they are interacting with a real person,” OpenAI said in a blog post last week, talking about ChatGPT but also, somehow, Desantis.

    The Florida governor certainly embraced technology, becoming the first to announce a presidential campaign on Elon Musk’s X, in a Twitter Space that cut in and out for 20 minutes.

    An AI chatbot for Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips, a Democratic candidate challenging the incumbent President Biden, was suspended over the weekend by OpenAI, according to The Washington Post.

    For example, when the Florida governor was asked what he was eating for dinner after a debate one night, he answered, “Yea, we’ll let her rip.” Not quite a normal, human response, unlike others who responded with “salmon” or “enchiladas.” In another instance, someone at a car show made a light joke, causing Desantis to convulse and erupt in extreme laughter, with everyone staring at his malfunction.

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman banning the use of ChatGPT in political campaigns is likely a positive development for AI.
