I'll ask AI how bad the ALP and the Coalition are first, before I vote for anyone.

Drop the prompt/question  answer verbatim in here - would be very interesting

so you are outsourcing your thoughts to AI and let it tell you how to think?

I've found AI is not too bad with simple questions that are not likely to have a hugely incorrect answer. One thing to watch with things like Google AI at the top of their search page is the reference links they give. Often they link to just something some bloke has said in Facebook or on Youtube. Far dodgier than some of the Wiki references.

I thought I would ask the question of ChatGPT. Here is the link of the question and answer.

Not much in it.

Ben Carroll has said if Labor is re-elected, they will take care of Victoria's potholes. According to the news at 6pm, they are planning to use prisoners in road gangs.

Ah! Victoria. Abandoning the Metric Systems and going back to gangs of chains.

[facthunter]

WHAT News?  THAT seems extremely UNLIKELY. Nev

[Marty_d]

Great. Instead of funding paid positions for road workers, use prisoners to save a buck. What are we, the deep South of the US?

I doubt  It's real or legal. You can't trust the News these days. At Present Australia is a lot different to the USA. When Hanson gets in it won't be.. Nev

Prisoners cannot be compelled to do any type of labour. If they do consent, then they are "paid" so that they can buy a few little luxuries from a shop within the prison. That's how prison industries work.

[facthunter]

The Least likely party to do that is LABOR with their historical Union Connections. They would lose a lot of members if they did. That's not hard  to work out.. I doubt R.G.Menzies would have done it either. It's not a good look and HE had principles. Nev
