> focusing on what they candidates say/have done

who's going to cross check it? and even if everyone did, who's going to ensure that everything everything is mentioned, things can fact check just fine with some strategic omissions.

Cross checks will be useless because enough GEO/SEO will be pumped out using generative AI that even what the candidate said will be distorted or "interpreted" in ways that fit the agenda of the organization doing the SEO. "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him." -- Cardinal Richelieu.

The best part is that the AI companies get paid for both causing immense societal problems and combating the problems their tools are causing. It's perfectly Kafkaesque and the best part it is going unremarked right out in the open.

you can have multiple agents run reviews and gut checks. open source models, etc. there are ways to go back and forth to get to some relative truth. regardless of complexity of said task, i would trust it a lot more than social media or search engines which are entirely corrupted by ad spend budgets.

Literally no one is or will be doing this (agents, open source models etc). People who do are rounding errors population scale

Also are you saying LLMs are and will be immune to ads?
