the thing about "still gotta win elections" is that sounds all realpolitik until you realize that avoidance lets the other guys define you in your absence and "moderating" communicates that their narrative about you is correct.
I guess this is the savvy take or whatever but as an empirical matter, it doesn't work to reinforce the narratives of your opponents. If Democrats start start saying, "immigrants are the reason crime rates are high!" they won't convince anti-immigrant voters and they'll alienate pro-immigrant voters

I would respect this whole conversation a lot more if "We have to use AI" finished truthfully with "because powerful people are forcing us" instead of leaving it like it could be pixies
A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.
