My only real problem would be with actual fraud. Like the AI Biden making calls trying to convince people not to vote in a primary.

That's the difference between impression and impersonation. My disappointment in the Lemmy community for not understanding the difference is immeasurable. We're supposed to be better than this but really we're no better than Reddit, running with ragebait headlines for the cheap dopamine hit that is the big upvote number.

If it were a human doing a Carlin impression, literally NOBODY would give a fuck about this video.
