Cheyenne, Wyoming, mayoral candidate Victor Miller has vowed to allow a bot he created with ChatGPT and named VIC govern and make executive decisions.

A librarian running as a nonpartisan candidate for mayor of Cheyenne, Wyoming, promises to allow an artificial intelligence bot created by OpenAI to govern the state’s capital city. Last month, Laramie County was forced to make the distinction that Victor Miller, a 42-year-old human man, would be listed on Tuesday’s primary ballot among five other candidates running for mayor of Cheyenne and "there is no Artificial Intelligence candidate running for office in Laramie County.

The county’s statement on July 5 said that Miller, "through countless interviews and statements to media, has consistently maintained a distinction between himself as a ‘meat avatar’ and separate from the AI-program he chooses to call VIC." "To allow VIC to be listed as a candidate would both violate Wyoming law and create voter confusion. VIC is not a registered voter," the statement insisted.
