Bill Oliver, a Progressive Conservative member of New Brunswick's legislative assembly, apparently read an AI prompt instruction aloud during a floor speech last month. After delivering a line about advocacy offices, he said, "here's a more natural, flowing version of that section that reads like a legislative speech rather than a series of short points," a phrase typical of an LLM offering alternative wording.
Video of the moment spread on social media this week and drew coverage from the CBC and The Toronto Star. The incident has fueled criticism of politicians relying on AI for their duties.
