A Democrat hoping to replace Nancy Pelosi in Congress has taken down a 'racist and sexist' campaign website used to mock a rival after admitting the tone-deaf attack 'missed the mark.'

California state senator Scott Wiener launched an AI chatbot last Monday which impersonated his opponent, District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan.

That chatbot was branded 'racist and sexist' by Pelosi and a slew of other Democrats who called it 'a gross misuse of technology.'

Just five days after its launch, Wiener's campaign backtracked and said they would be taking down the website and the multiple billboards that promoted it.

Wiener said the bot, ConnieChan.ai, was meant to be a parody highlighting Chan's record on housing, public transit and other issues.

'Today, we are taking down the chatbot, and the billboards that promoted it will come down soon,' he announced Friday.

In a statement to the Daily Mail on Sunday, Wiener's team said: 'The conversation became about the tactic instead of the issues that actually matter to San Franciscans - housing and health care they can afford, transit that works, schools that serve every kid, and a downtown that comes back stronger.' 

The Connie Chan chatbot referred to itself as 'the world's first AI trained to say no to anything you ask,' the SF Gate reported.

Connie Chan, who was born in Hong Kong, said the chatbot had racist and sexist

Chan, who was born in Hong Kong, said the chatbot displayed racist and sexist undertones, alleging it did not directly respond to questions about her accent, citizenship and whether or not she was from China.

The Daily Mail was unable to independently verify these claims because the website is currently 'undergoing maintenance.' 

Wiener's team disputed Chan's accusations, alleging the indirect responses stemmed from safeguarding features that were put in place 'to prevent any inappropriate answers.'

In a joint statement decrying the chatbot, Pelosi and her allies said: 'Women have spent generations fighting to have our own voices heard in the halls of power. We should not have to now fight against artificial intelligence putting words in our mouths.' 

The group accused Wiener's campaign of 'using AI to fabricate a woman's voice for ridicule or attack' and said the move reflected a 'disturbing willingness to erase women's agency and reinforce the sexist tropes that have long been used to undermine women in public life.'

Wiener said his team intended to engage voters in an innovative way, but now acknowledge that the chatbot may not have been the best way to do that.  

'Throughout my career, I've never been afraid to push the envelope, which means taking risks, sometimes succeeding, and sometimes missing the mark,' Wiener's statement said.

'This chatbot came from that same approach. It was our attempt to reach voters in a new, innovative, and more engaging way than a traditional static website.

'But our use of an AI chatbot clearly missed the mark. The conversation became about the tactic instead of the issues that actually matter to San Franciscans.

'The focus must remain on those critical issues, so we're taking the chatbot and billboards down.'

A spokesperson for Chan, in a statement to KRON, said that: 'Wiener can rightly take down his bigotry bot, but he can't erase the concerns it raised among San Franciscans about his character and judgment.'

'San Franciscans deserve better than a campaign funded by Big AI weaponizing the technology to mock an immigrant woman of color, doubling down after justified outrage, then reversing course and shrugging it off as simply 'missing the mark,' the spokesman said.

Wiener has since apologized to anyone who was 'offended' by that chatbot, while also thanking the supporters who 'loved' it. 

'I heard from many people who loved the idea, and I appreciate their support,' he said. 'But many others were offended, and I apologize for causing that offense.'

He added that during the final stretch of his campaign, he will now focus on the issues, candidate records and the future of San Francisco.

The Daily Mail has approached Chan and Pelosi for comment.

Lý do là vì công cụ này mô phỏng và chế giễu tiếng nói, giọng điệu cũng như lập trường chính trị của bà một cách sai lệch, gây tổn hại đến hình ảnh của một phụ nữ gốc Á.Mạo danh giọng nói và lạm dụng định kiến:

Chatbot có tên conniechan.ai (được quảng bá qua các biển quảng cáo) bị chỉ trích là nhại lại giọng điệu và lạm dụng phát âm/giọng của một phụ nữ nhập cư người da màu để châm biếm. Phía Connie Chan cùng nhiều lãnh đạo nữ trong quốc hội đã lên án mạnh mẽ việc vũ khí hóa công nghệ AI trong chiến dịch tranh cử. Trước áp lực lớn này, chiến dịch của Scott Wiener sau đó đã phải gỡ bỏ các biển quảng cáo và đóng cửa trang web chatbot
