Colorado GOP's Closing Pitch A Hot AI Mess

  • 1 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

The Colorado Republican Party under chairman Dave “Brandon Who?” Williams wrapped up their minimal contribution to the 2024 elections on Tuesday morning with yet another low-budget email blast substituting for a coordinated campaign, before a national “red wave” broke on Colorado’s Front Range with local Republicans totally unprepared to capitalize on this change of fortunes once again humiliated–failing to end the Democratic supermajority in the Colorado House, and settling for basically status quo ante everywhere else.

We’ll have much more to say on what happened in Colorado during this year’s elections in the coming days, but this image from the Colorado GOP’s final Election Day missive to their dwindling list of supporters could sum up the dysfunction that prevented Colorado Republicans from gaining any ground despite the most favorable national political climate since George W. Bush beat John Kerry in 2004:

The first thing that struck us as odd in this obviously AI-generated image was the eagle in the upper left that seems to be genetically crossed with a jellyfish, and the elephant that appears to have two trunks instead of a trunk and a tail–both we assume examples of what they call “AI hallucinations.” Those oddities momentarily distracted us the much more obvious problem, spelling the all-important word VOTE “VOITE” with the T and the E mashed up in some weird manner that does not so far as we know exist in any language. We can only conclude that the big checks Williams is drawing from the party account for his services aren’t paying for qualified graphic designers, or even someone to proofread before the party faithful receive these amateur mistakes in their inboxes.

AI-generated junk content is certainly not worth the tens of thousands Williams is billing the party, but it is a suitable metaphor for what the Colorado GOP has become under the current leadership. Williams had no plan for the 2024 elections beyond winning his congressional primary, and after that didn’t happen, Williams’ objectives shifted to saving his job and getting paid.

It’s the work product of a party chairman who checked out months ago.
