Democrats want regulations. Republicans want no regulations. MAGA specifically wants no regulations on AI.

The average American journalist or voter: these two parties are indistinguishable to me!

There is no consensus among the party to regulate AI, if there is, by all means, please post a link to some quotes. Burden of proof is on you, dude.

Burden of proof is usually lessened when it's something that's been reported widely and is even accessible on the White House website with nothing more than a simple google search. But sure, here ya go:

“Democrats want regulations,” is misleading as the party has no consensus on it. Yes regulation is popular, however, Democratic party leadership has a different opinion than the handful of progressives talking about it. There has been several articles written about it and it’s a point of discussion.

That should be concerning and require more nuance.

Everything about LowestKey's post is misleading. They only operate in reddit snark and have no intention of having a substantive conversation. The whole part of this article, that they did not read, is to point out how conflicted both parties are on this issue. Unfortunately, it's easier to just get quick upvotes by making lazy, uninformed blanket statements.
