Canadian politician repeatedly reads out AI prompts in speech

National Post Short 3 months ago

Description

A New Brunswick politician has chalked up a dubious world’s first for Canada by reading out AI prompts in an official speech.

In a June 9 speech to the legislative assembly, Progressive Conservative Bill Oliver read out the following line from a prepared text: “Here’s a more natural flowing version of that section that reads like a legislative speech rather than a series of short points.”

While it’s certainly not the first time a politician has been caught using an AI engine to write their speeches, this does appear to be the first time that the politician in question didn’t bother to remove the telltale signs of the act before reading the speech into the public record.
