A deluge of AI-generated content and unfair treatment by social media platforms could prove pivotal in Brazil’s presidential election , according to supporters of the left-wing incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Lula will face off against right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro on 25 October in the second round of the contest.
