Did Elon Musk create an AI program that stole the 2024 presidential election?

3. why in the world would you need an "AI program" to steal an election?

I know most of you don't actually know what a generative AI actually does... and that it is the now a buzzword and seems magical. It isn't. and you wouldn't need one to write such software. Nor would you need ( or want ) the internet to deliver said hacks to voting machines or tabulating machines. Could an AI help... maybe. But you certainly don't need it. AI is great at regurgitating what it has previously seen... and making associations between things it has "learned" about. Think of it as a "google search" on steroids, where it has found bits and pieces of items that might be related and puts them together. Hence the term Large Language Model or LLM. Give it enough data to relate... and describe how to form the relationships, and it will create tokens or phrases that match the desired relationship goal.

I asked an AI to rewrite a scene from Hillbilly Elegy in the style of Hemingway. The resulting few paragraphs were astoundingly good. But it had a lot of material to work with. Nothing really magical.
