I used o3 to do a lot of research on Zohran and would love to see a mainstream product that helps people actually vote based on how policy personally affects them. It just seems like it's not as simple as using just the tech for most people. E.g. I asked a NYU girl what the sentiment was for the election and she said most peers are voting/meming Zohran because he's cute and not Cuomo because he's not.

I see it as a nascent AI tool (LLMs) competing with a decently mature AI tool (ML recommendations). The game Helldivers gets into what you’re looking for but provides critique for the idea I can see the campaign had a strong digital and physical footprint to reach people where they were. NYC politics seems vulnerable to those network-based underdog stories

The in-game lore is around managed democracy. Citizens do a quiz and then a vote is made on their behalf by AI. Of course this is a game and probably not led by deeply technical political scientists but is interesting to think about what foundation knowledge tools need to give voters better alignment while not also influencing that alignement for its moderators own goals
