Got doubts? We got answers.

  1. Objection 1

    “The AI already knew who won.”

    The AI is OpenAI's GPT-4o mini. Its knowledge ends in October 2023, a year before the vote. Ask it who won, and it says it does not know.

  2. Objection 2

    “Any AI could do this.”

    The AI is a small, low-cost 2024 model. The accuracy comes from SimPersonas: 20,400 real Census voters, state by state.

  3. Objection 3

    “You tuned it until it matched.”

    We saved the real results before the first voter answered, and wrote down every setup before its run. The final setup then ran again on fresh voters it had never seen.

  4. Objection 4

    “These voters are made up.”

    Every voter is a real US Census record, drawn by population weight in each state, with a real age, job, income, education and home. The AI only answered for them.

  5. Objection 5

    “Anyone can call a 50/50 race.”

    A coin flip calls 20 of 51 states. Our voters called 49.

  6. Objection 6

    “It is one lucky number.”

    We ran two separate groups of 200 voters in every state. Both landed within a third of a point of the real national result.

Check every answer yourself.

Every voter’s Census facts, the AI’s answer and its reason, and the state figures that rebuild 50.87%.
