Canadian lawmaker reads AI prompt aloud during legislative speech

Bill Oliver, a Progressive Conservative Party member of the New Brunswick legislative assembly, inadvertently read an apparent LLM prompt instruction during a floor speech. After reading a formal statement, 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,' mirroring common AI-generated phrasing. The video of the incident went unnoticed initially but later spread on social media, drawing mainstream attention from outlets like CBC and the Toronto Star, which criticized politicians delegating duties to AI.
