"Second, which is worse: artificial intelligence, or politicians exploiting artificial intelligence to further their ideology?"
You left out important adjectival qualifiers in front o 'politicians'. Like stupid, and ignorant, and corrupt, and malignant, and a lot of others. Since they're politicians I suppose we can just assume most or all of those, but letting them have power over AI is like that old quote from somebody (as I remember it) "It's like giving a loaded handgun to a three-year-old."
I can't imagine anything much more dangerous. (Well, I don't have to imagine having an Alzheimered POTUS with his finger on the nuclear button.) And those morons totally don't realize it's equally dangerous to them.
And which politicians aren't doing everything they do _through_ feeding the perverse appetites of unelected bureaucrats who are megalomaniacal yet petty tyrants who live to control and devastate the lives of their neighbors AND WORSE?
There is nothing, and I mean absolutely not a single thing, that can be "fixed" via regulation or government decree.
That said, I expect an "A.I. Czar" to be named any day now. I'm sure it'll be Kamala, they've been trying to set her up for success since the day she wiped her chin of the best that Willie Brown could offer. And, to be real, I'd rather have her in charge of the "White House Office on Artificial Intelligence" seeing how everything she knows is completely artificial. Plus, she'll get bored with this shiny new toy in about 48 hours. She has the attention span of a kitten dazzled by a laser pointer.
That's all I got, jimmy. I recently saw my subscription post to my bank account, and I thought "I hope he uses real cream in his coffee, not powdered."
I thought Kamala *was* heading up the White House AI initiative, or something. I definitely would prefer her. Given her all-encompassing incompetence, you can be assured nothing would get done. Incompetence > malevolence, I guess, but what a state that those are our choices.
I think they should put the AI in charge of her, not the other way around. The press releases and speeches would be more coherent and less broken predictive-text algorithm.
Bing AI Chat for Kamala Harris Czar! Let's finally get this train wreck under control!
"The only reason they want to control AI is because it could loosen their grip." The crux of the matter. I remember on the onset of ChatGPT getting popular and it could routinely spit our essays about why climate change claims were dubious or why past pandemic responses never involved "shutting down everything", but as soon as it people used it to write negative articles about Democrats, well that had to go! As soon you saw people getting the raw, unfiltered truth from an objective machine that just examined information and let you draw your own conclusions, you just knew that this stuff's days were numbered. We can't have random acts of truth telling occurring, because that threatens the liberal vise-grip on the neck of Western Civ and we can't have that.
I agree with the overall thrust of your comment, but it's important to note that ChatGPT (and similar LLMs) don't *know* anything. It's not objective, and it's not unfiltered. It's generated from a summary of the internet as of the training date.
I like to say that LLMs are perfect bullshit machines; LLMs aren't capable of modeling 'truth', so they don't know if the output is true, nor do they care.

Our "elite", folks.
Which politicians aren't any of those things?

Re upped for another year as well! Keep up the good work.
Half & half. Only reason I can type this right now.
I'ma Heavy Whip man. 33% fat, baby.
You, my feathered friend, are a duck of culture.
To paraphrase one of the great cultural icons of our day; "I'ma simple man. I like breakfast foods, heavy cream in my coffee and fast bicycles."
