I'm trying to understand why we are cramming AI and machine learning into EVERYTHING. I myself am a software engineer so naturally I welcome a lot of new tech but I am also wary of new tech too.

Elections are one of those things that should be done as analog as possible. Introducing AI and the internet is only going to make it more possible for people to actually change elections through hacking and subterfuge.
