Alex Gibney, the Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker behind the four-hour Musk, responded on Sunday to a legal threat from its subject, telling a TIFF
Do you not understand how ingesting enormous amounts of civilian data can lead to voter suppression? If I know everything about you I can stop you from voting all together. I can target blue areas and block parts of the city off with cops to make it harder to get to the polls. I can find out which cities are strongholds of my greatest enemies and send ICE there for “Immigration activities”. You’d have to be brain dead to not realize what you can do with this.

No - I don’t. And neither do you. You just told me that “you can” but not “how”. It’s more handwaving. Exactly what would you do with all the information you have about me?
You clearly dont understand the magnitude of the data that was captured. Its not 1 or 2 data points on you, its every data point ever collected on you. Humans cannot sift through that in a timely manner. Thats probably mostly what the AI is for, parsing the extreme data. They dont need an AI to send cops to block off your street that is true, but they do need AI to go through every point of data and figure out exactly who is voting against them.
AI is not magic. You can’t just handwave away how it would work.
This statement is useless in this context. AI can recognize patterns like the best of us and thats all you need to accomplish voter suppression.
People treat AI like computers were treated in the 90s and 00s.
It is not magic. You’re still handwaving. “Recognizing patterns” is not sufficient to suppress voting.

Friend you can do that now without AI. You can declare a police state to block all voting. AI is not magic.
Go ahead and ask any question about me and tell me how you would stop me from voting with the answer.

You are moving the goalposts. No amount of detail can assuage your definition of “handwaving”.
I didn’t move the goalposts - nobody has shot on net yet.
