Political Spin Critique AI

I used Google's Gemini AI to ask it the following question

Tell me the political spin techniques that have been used in this text:

It's reply was:

The text uses several political spin techniques:

  1. Emphasis on safety and community: The message starts by appealing to a shared value: feeling safe. It positions the Miles Government as prioritizing “community safety and victims.”
  2. Highlighting action: The announcement of a new operation, “Operation Whiskey Legion,” creates the impression of decisive action on crime.
  3. Numbers and statistics: Citing figures like “11,300 arrests” and “165,000 crime hotspot patrols” creates a sense of achievement and effort.
  4. Balancing approaches: The text acknowledges the need for diversion programs for youth crime but emphasizes tougher penalties, potentially appealing to those demanding a firmer hand.
  5. Focus on local impact: Mentioning deployment starting in nearby areas (Logan and Ipswich) makes the issue seem more relevant to local residents.
  6. Solutions with qualifications: The text acknowledges there's “always more work to be done” but positions the government as taking the right steps.

Overall, the message is crafted to present the Miles Government as actively working to improve community safety through various measures.

Not ready to replace politician, Yet

Perhaps there's a law about it or something like that but it appears that artificial intelligence is not quite ready yet to replace politicians. But it did say, it is still learning.

Perhaps the whole of Australian political dialogue should be uploaded to an AI and then we could various AIs fighting out the political battle and we won't have to watch it.

Or perhaps we could create a new virtual political party, the AI party. I'm sure it could beat all the existing political parties and make much better political decisions.

The political message I asked to be crituitued

Dear Forestdale Residents,

Everyone has the right to feel safe in their homes and communities. The Miles Government has listened closely to Queenslanders, understood community concerns about crime and made it clear through many reforms that community safety and victims come first.

The Queensland Police Service is launching a major multi-level operation to reduce crime across Queensland communities Operation Whiskey Legion will involve additional police deploying to districts, joining forces with local officers on the ground and targeting a range of local crime issues.

The rolling operations will focus on various crime categories including vehicle theft and property crime, robbery, assault and Domestic and Family Violence (DFV).

Part of the highly visible operation will include expanding crime prevention initiatives such as Bring the Beat where members of the public can request the deployment of a Mobile Police Beat to their local area. The operation will be in addition to current operations underway across Queensland including Operation Whiskey Unison and Taskforce Guardian.

As part of Operation Whiskey Unison, more than 11,300 people have been arrested during high visibility patrols and activities on more than 18,200 charges since March 2023. Statewide efforts have also included more than 165,000 crime hotspot patrols, shopping centre walk throughs, bail compliance checks, community engagements and other activities.

Legion will first deploy to Logan and Ipswich in the coming weeks before future deployments in regional Queensland.

The Government continues to boost the capacity of the Queensland Police Service to tackle crime, including youth crime. There is no quick fix and there is always more work to be done. While we will continue diverting young people away from crime through evidence-based programs and services, we know the community is demanding tougher penalties, which have been delivered. This is further supported by a significant investment of $446.4 million to boost policing and to continue and enhance programs that are working to divert young offenders from crime and address underlying causes.

Remember, in emergency or if the crime is happening now, call 000. If you need police assistance, but it's not an emergency, you can contact Policelink by calling 131 444. You can also provide anonymous information about any criminal activity to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
