"Nothing says "healthy democracy" quite like a van blaring pop music and covered in posters showing an AI-generated Gerry Hutch."
"When I first saw the image of the Independent candidate outside Connolly Station in Dublin, it stopped me in my tracks. It is not every day you're face-to-face with a "yassified" Hutch after all."
AI-generated political imagery is appearing in public spaces during campaigns. A visible example is an Independent candidate outside Connolly Station in Dublin, shown with an AI-altered, “yassified” appearance. The presence of posters and pop-music blaring from a van frames the use of AI as part of political messaging. While tech companies and the Government claim AI is permanent, the use of AI in politics raises concerns about democratic participation and control. More influence is sought over how AI is deployed, especially when it affects public perception of real people and candidates.
