Ron DeSantis is telling Hawkeye State Republicans his concerns about Artificial Intelligence.
And one of them is that AI is too “woke.”
During a town hall event in Osceola, Iowa, the Republican presidential candidate was asked by an attendee about AI, a question that has yet to come up during this campaign.
“So, you have some of these big AI companies, a lot of their data, you know, is more woke. It does have a little bit of a political agenda. And so, there’s a lot of power to it,” DeSantis said.
The Governor, whose war on woke involves skirmishes with the U.S. Military, The Walt Disney Co., and classrooms from kindergarten to college, apparently adds another potential front in the ongoing conflict.
Beyond concerns about wokeness, DeSantis outlined his belief that America’s strategic competitors are using the technology, with a worry about AI replacing the human touch.
“China is trying to do it for its military. We’re going to have to compete on the military side with AI, but I don’t want a society in which computers overtake humanity,” DeSantis said. “And I don’t know what the appropriate guardrail is federally because a lot is going to change in a year and a half with this because it’s going so rapidly.”
“But at the same time,” DeSantis said. “We want any technology to benefit our citizens and benefit humanity. We don’t want it to displace our citizens or displace humanity.”
“So as this happens, and there’s rapid development every month, every two months, we’re going to be looking to see, OK, you know, what is it that we need to do. And if there are guard rails that need to be put in place, you know, I would be willing to do that. I think it’s important for society.”

It’s not clear Rhonda that has any clue what AI is. He definitely doesn’t know what woke is. But he does see competition coming from AI for what Rhonda thinks is HIS job: displacing humanity.

You know, he’s like, you know, like stuff and things, you know, crazy. Certifiably dangerous and unfit.

Artificial Derangement is the competition he needs to worry about.

Will DeSantis ever talk about real issues facing Americans and how he plans to fix these problems?

You know, he’s like, you know, like working on talking. He’ll graduate to real issues after he learns to speak coherently, but only if he can get there on a baseball scholarship.

So artificial intelligence divided by woke equals abject stupidity. Apparently this is the new desantis algorithm.

Wake up Rona! Florida’s cherished coral reefs are all dying while you are babbling about nonsense in Iowa. Woke AI, seriously? Pathetic.

To be fair to Jill, she is married to a hugely defective early model robot computer.

Is Rhonda Cold?

What up with the sweater vest? Is little Rhonda cold? It’s only been in the 80s in Iowa this week, topping out at 90 each day.
Or did CaCa CaCa Casey tell her little Chia Pet to wear it?
Or is little Rhonda trying to hide that he is wearing a plate carrier because he says things he thinks will get him shot at?
Whatever their reasons, LOL @ Rhonda’s cute little sweater vest.
I bet the white embroidery matches perfectly with those white boots. Animatronic Dopey is so little and cute! Awwwwwww!
