Wondering why political parties aren’t using more AI to simulate dead politicians. McConnell is the latest example of a VERY long tradition. Biden, Feinstein, Pelosi, Tom Kean, McCain and ESPECIALLY Wilson, undoubtedly many less famous.
Easy answer: Those things aren’t human so they DON’T NEED to be simulated. Nobody cares if they move or speak or eat or poop or think.
They are slots in an array like bitcoin. The only thing that matters is the balance of D vs R in the array. The numbers don’t have any function. They don’t pass budgets or declare war or make laws. All of those functions are done by bureaucrats.
To outsiders even the balance doesn’t matter, because we see that the same shit happens whether D>R or R>D.
Politics as a program:
int Congress = [D,R];
while 1:
{
Elect(D,R);
if D>R: get(CampaignFunds);
if D<R: get(CampaignFunds);
if D==R: get(CampaignFunds);
} end while
Of course the compiler will simplify this down to just
get(CampaignFunds);
so the rest isn’t worth thinking about. (Credit William Allen Goddamn White.)

Oops, spoke too soon. This alleged statement “by” McConnell has a strong smeLLM. If it isn’t AI, it shows UNintelligence on the part of his human handlers. The perky chipper tone is inappropriate in the circumstances.
