It’s funny the things that get to you when you’ve been at this for a while.
Today the thing that smacked me upside the head and made me lay my face in my hands for a minute was a viral video clip of Canadian politician Bill Oliver accidentally reading out text from the AI chatbot which had authored his speech before the New Brunswick legislature.
“Public confidence in the office of an advocate matters,” Oliver said while reading from his prepared statement, before blurting out “Here’s a more natural, flowing version of that section that reads like a legislative speech rather than a series of short points.”
I mean, damn dude.
I can’t get over how this is the future we wound up in. Things could have been so beautiful, and instead we wound up with this.
