I hear Microsoft have got an AI chat bot going spare that would be perfect for the Tory party.
What do voters want? An IRL Maybot? Sure, give that a whirl
A local Tory candidate has suggested the party creates a chatbot to up its digital cred and boost engagement with voters. Its name? Theresa Maybot. The idea is mooted in an apparently straight-faced blogpost on Conservative Home by Leon Emirali, a "media entrepreneur" who co-founded digital PR agency Crest and is a candidate …

Except it wouldn't be AI
Because once they find out how much AI costs, and how much dealings they'd need to have with long-haired liberal hippy IT types to make one, it'll get dropped faster than an anvil down a well. It'd have to be watered down a bit price-wise, and they'd need to be sure of it'll do nothing but drift centre-right, be fluent in non-speak, and be of sufficiently mature technology that their core supporter base can cope with.
It's got some keen young tory intern behind mIRQ written all over it, this one.

Knock, Knock ....... Who's There? AI Gift Horse :-) I Kid U Not
I second that party suggestion and would offer Alien Assistants au fait in Live Operational Virtual Environment Fields ..... for there are countless numbers of them to Explore and Exploit/Populate and Remote Anonymously Command and Control/Manage with Advanced IntelAIgent Virtual Government Services ...... Drivering Creative Provision of Assets and Logistics for Heavenly Tasks.
One does well to note such is an Almighty Weapon too and thus is Access to ITsSecrets are Securely Protected/Extremely Selective.
There comes a Stage though where the specific sharing of Vital Future Secrets can easily be transmitted freely online, safe in the knowledge that only a Few made of the Right Stuff will be enabled and able to more fully comprehend the course of Future Travel and Virtual Flight Plans made possible by such Vital Future Secrets Sharing
The Posit here is that Now is such a Stage ..... and facilities for all of its utilities are readily available for Current Use/Present Works.

Is one advised to directly share the AI Gift Horse up above there with services held responsible and accountable here
It would be Top Table Manners, and Impolite to be Totally Silent and Super Stealthy over such Futures as Really Matter and are so Amenable.
What say El Regers? An Up Vote, or otherwise, would surely indicate your best wishes and require a lively response validating your wishes ..... thus proving the fact before the fact with fiction a Staunch Stealthy Ally.

As long as it's funded by Central Office and not the public at large (or small or anything in between) I think it's worth it.
Though I also suspect that most of the bandwidth will be taken up by those of a Daily Mail persuasion busy telling No. 10 how it SHOULD BE DONE!

Something in the Air Targeting No 10 ... for Any Sign of Advanced IntelAIgent Potential Within
Moving things on apace ..... into Virgin AI Space and Virtual Terrain Team Territory in Live Operational Virtual Environments.
Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones. .... Donald Rumsfeld
Well, it surely cannot be said that a certain particular and peculiar unknown was/is totally unknown to the currently seated Conservative Party government machine and Parliamentary Operating System whenever novel intel and seed feed info is so directly freely shared with recent party appointees/annointees and its Director of Communications. ......

Would it be possible, I wonder, to plug the input to the Botty into the output from amanfromMars?
Job done, Central Office happy, Voters much enlightened.
Thanks, the consultancy invoice is in the post.

Of course it is possible, PNGuinn, and over HiFiWiFi are strong and stable connections protected from physical harm in virtual assaults ....... and that makes them practically almighty.
Any berthing and birthing problems would be Botty failings.

Q> Explain Brexit ...
A> In the post Maastricht European-republic it is known as a 'syntax error', "what?", "FIIK" or "doh!". It is a situation where a few people earning lots of money and wielding almost autocratic levels of political power force many adminitsrators to work massively hard with the aim of looking as if they are performing the will of the people, whilst at the same time preserving or increasing the income levels and power of the autocracy.

Get with the hip new craze daddio!
Hmmm. If as a "media enrtepreneur" you don't realise that this will be roundly mocked by everybody and willl have nothing but abuse hurled at it in the hope of eliciting humorous replies once it's developed and put online, you are more than a bit shit at your job and your "Digital PR Agency" is obviously not worth hiring for any work.
I really would like to see them waste a fortune on this. However, should they want a free open source version, I have handily provided a highly realistic implementation below, using the latest in AI technology :
10 Input("What issue are you concerned about ?", issue$)
20 Print ("I have been very clear that the government takes " + issue$ + " very seriously and we will fix it for you, unlike the last lanour government which is repsponsible for everything bad including all the problems with " + issue$)
30 Goto 10

Re: Get with the new hip craze daddio!
Howdy, SVV,
The systemic problem for governments is surely as you have shown ...... scripting errors. Altered and/or AdultERated Instructions are required for Beta Input/SMARTR Output and in so doing Create Whole New Bigger Picture Trails to Navigate and Colonise with Populations.
And let All of Us here and there propose that be an Engaging In The Beginning Start Point ..... for Virtually Immaculate Drivers/those Wheelers and Dealers Alive when Everything is a'Happening.

I find this kind of "humor" quite disturbing.
I actually laughed.
Additionally, any malfunctions and mis-statements could be ascribed to "Russian Hacking" or "Nork interference". This is a tech challenge that is winnable.

Simple choice really.
1. The risky option.* Do a Tay, Bags I get a chance to help train it.
2. Get some of the better bullsh*t generators off the net and randomly concatenate their outputs**
* Not that risky really! We all know where that one will end up.
** This is really the high risk option. Some of the brighter dimwits at Tory Central Office might think it a wizard plan to pipe that into the next Tory manifesto.

May Bots do Better ..... in a Risky TakeOver with Risky AIMakeOver and Vice Versa
2. Get some of the better bullsh*t generators off the net and randomly concatenate their outputs** .... PNGuinn
Be careful with that proposal, PNGuinn, for the best of them will autonomously provide leading input to output which remote outputters will not have absolute command and control over.
Some though would posit that a prime reason to beta test the program/project, given the dire straits level of serial incompetence and ineffectuality presently being demonstrated in the global field of public opinion by bots in Tory guise.
However, whenever the state of government affairs is akin to ....You can take a horse to water but you can't make a dumb animal drink if their brains are not working properly .... then is there a Houston, we have a Problem Problem.
