Oh, that's a prediction market.

For what it's worth, a non-candidate already behaves like a chatbot. [0]

I mean, the last two presidents we’ve had in the US were cognitively challenged geriatric puppets. I don’t see how it could be worse.

Most presidents in the US are puppets of their party and contributors. When you vote, you are really voting for the party, since going outside what the party wants will generally get you nothing in the long term. Sure, it’s easy for a president to issue executive orders and temporarily get what he wants, but they can just as easily be overturned by the next president. Great presidents are great because they were able to make changes that will last many years after their presidency ends.
