Leave it to Chris Murphy—the Senate’s foremost expert in talking while saying absolutely nothing—to deliver a self-important TED Talk on artificial intelligence… from Paris. Apparently, flying across the Atlantic to sip Bordeaux and scold Silicon Valley is what passes for fighting for the American worker these days.
According to Murphy, AI poses a dire threat to the “spiritual health of Americans.” That’s rich coming from a guy who spends most of his time spiritually injuring Connecticut residents with his gun grabbing policies, climate mandates, and his signature brand of soy-soaked sanctimony.
During his speech Murphy breathlessly declared AI more transformative than the internet, advanced medicine, or the printing press. Oh, and also possibly the greatest threat to democracy in human history. You know, just your usual drivel from Connecticut’s most verbose drama queen.
But don’t worry — he’s totally not overreacting.
Murphy claims the Trump administration is “fully captured” by Big Tech and that Vice President J.D. Vance refuses to “view AI as a purely disruptive technology.” Translation: Chris is mad that J.D. didn’t take a break from fighting for working-class Ohioans to write a think piece about ChatGPT’s impact on our souls.
He accuses the tech industry of “dangerous hubris,” as if that label isn’t better applied to the guy flying overseas to accuse Americans of spiritual rot while cosplaying as a someone who knows what they are talking about.
What makes Murphy’s sermon so deeply unserious — besides the fact that it was delivered at the Paris Institute of Political Studies, not, say, an American community college where kids are actually being replaced by screens and software — is that he can’t quite decide what he’s afraid of.
On one hand, AI is a miracle that will solve cancer, automate paperwork, and feed the poor. On the other hand, it’s apparently going to erase the labor force, ruin our souls, and destroy democracy. You’d think something capable of all that might also replace Chris Murphy — but alas, no AI has stooped that low.
He’s basically warning that Skynet is coming, but instead of sending Kyle Reese back in time, Murphy’s solution is more regulations and more international panels. Forget The Terminator Murphy is more like The Bureaucratinator.
Chris Murphy doesn’t actually fear artificial intelligence. What he fears is irrelevance. Like so many far left politicians, he’s far more invested in appearing thoughtful than being effective — offering warnings about the nation’s soul while Connecticut continues to lose residents, jobs, and economic ground.
If Murphy wanted to do something useful, he’d worry less about robot ethics and more about the real spiritual harm of public schools failing kids, rising crime, fentanyl, open borders, and the thousands of people being priced out of his own state thanks to the economic sabotage he votes for.
But oh no — he’s in Paris, warning about how Grok might make teenagers sad.
The truth is, artificial intelligence isn’t the problem. Artificial senators are.
