The issue is that AI doesn't understand human emotion or the way a crowd reacts to a sudden political shift. In the middle of a campaign, people change their minds based on the moment, and no matter how much data you feed it, a machine is always going to be a step behind when things actually start to heat up.

No not really. It’s just if you ask the model what percent of people like apples, it doesn’t know the answer. We don’t even need to get to the level of change of opinions.

Models don’t “poll” their training data. If you give it five yes answers and five no answers, it doesn’t think that it’s 50/50.

If you give it actual data it can derive it, but that would be a poll
