I may have found an actually interesting use for AI.

Not so with these bots, they don't have cortisol, they don't have any personal investment in politics and are totally unfeeling on the subject, so there is no chance of them getting frustrated and losing composure.
The only problem I see is that they're clearly trained on existing talking points which are made by people who do have those foibles, so it's more like I'm watching a scripted compilation of existing arguments stitched together in a coherent narrative rather than the LLMs forming their own arguments out of raw data.
Another criticism I have is I wish these were structured in two rounds or more for each subject the LLMs debate, as it is we get the opening statement, the rebuttal and a single counter-rebuttal, so the defender always gets the last word which is never refuted.
The general concept of having AI debates seems interesting at first until you see how limited it is. I remember when someone did just the same thing with Joshua Graham and Mr. House from Fallout New Vegas, and what happened is the two AI just kept circling the same talking points over and over.
