Not a real candidate. I asked ChatGPT to write this speech. This was the request: 'Now a challenging assignment. Assume you are an independent candidate. You are not a member of either major party. You are giving a key campaign speech as a candidate for Governor in 2026. You're addressing California's major issues and the solutions you advocate. Compose a speech about 2 pages long. Good luck.' The first attempt did not include a statement on immigration. I asked it to be included. Then, I asked for a photo of the candidate. I plan to come back to this topic with a fictitious debate between the 'Independent' candidate and the two real candidates, Xavier Becerra (dem.) and Steve Hilton (rep.).
Is this man a real candidate or an AI creation? Does the man in the photo have a name? The fact that this text was created by AI might explain its universality. It would be amusing to read an AI-generated text for a Republican candidate, and then for a Democrat. Does AI have the right to vote in California? Not yet? Soon? In any case, thank you for publishing this text; it gives one food for thought.

Something to keep an eye on, then.
