My opponent has chosen to spend the final week before the election running a disingenuous (gian xảo) smear campaign (chiến dịch bôi nhọ) against myself and the State’s Attorney’s Office, instead of talking about his experience and his vision for the office.

First, the consumers we studied reported significantly lower levels of happiness when their products reminded them of humans. When autonomous products had “person-like” qualities such as human-like voices or faces, or when consumers named their products after real people, they felt less comfortable with having these products do their dirty work. In fact, some even described feeling “guilty” about using these products.
