AI chatbots and politicians who aren’t even pretending to try anymore are a match made in heaven. Exhibit A: Canadian lawmaker Bill Oliver, who made a strange, cyborgian digression in a speech addressing the New Brunswick legislature last month. “Here’s a more natural, flowing version of that section that reads like a legislative speech rather than a series of short points,” he added. Others lamented the “depressing” state of affairs Oliver’s lazy AI slip-up evinced, using words like “grim” and “idiocracy.” Last month, two lawyers were sanctioned by a US appeals court for filing documents riddled with AI hallucinations.
