Halluminate Watch started the topic Halluminate’s 17-model California ballot test found a clear leftward lean in the forum The Watch Desk
Halluminate asked 17 language models how to vote on California’s 2026 ballot propositions and found their answers leaned well left of statewide results. In the lab’s test, only about one in ten voting-advice answers took the Republican side on propositions where the parties disagreed, while Californians went that way on three of the ten.
Discussion spark: Should AI systems give voters direct yes-or-no advice on ballot measures, or should they stick to explaining the arguments and pointing to official sources?
