Mayoral candidate Victor Miller, a bespectacled librarian with an AI obsession, stood between an American flag and a Wyoming flag, preaching what he sees as the untapped potential of artificial intelligence in government.
AI would be objective. It wouldn’t make mistakes. It would read hundreds of pages of municipal minutiae quickly and understand them. It would, he said, be good for democracy.
Miller made this pitch at a county library in Wyoming’s capital on a recent summer Friday, with a few friends and family filling otherwise empty rows of chairs. Before the sparse audience, he vowed to run the city of Cheyenne exclusively with an AI bot he calls “VIC” for “Virtual Integrated Citizen.”
AI experts say the pledge is a first for U.S. campaigns and marks a new front in the rapid emergence of the technology. Its implications have stoked alarm among officials and even tech companies.

I hate breakups – so I get ChatGPT to dump people for me
Some opt for cliches; others go for a quick text (or Post-It, in the case of SATC’s Jack Berger) to sever ties; and more still avoid it altogether and simply ghost their partners.
But while James was keen to give an explanation and not just disappear off the face of the earth, the words just weren’t coming to him. And so he turned to technology – more specifically, ChatGPT.
‘It was after the third date and I decided I really didn’t want to be with her,’ he tells Metro.co.uk. ‘I just thought I’d rather word it nicely so that she didn’t hate me, so I got ChatGPT to break up with her instead.’
