Politician reads AI prompt during assembly

This is our new normal. It's not necessarily interesting. But you have to expect nearly everyone is using AI at this point.

I have both experienced and hear my coworkers across the tech industry complaining about having to parse slop from their peers, management and juniors they work with. AI comments on their merge requests that sound right, but are subtly incorrect and irrelevant that add to their cognitive load. PRD (Product Requirements Document) slop from PM's that are adding features for the sake of it and is essentially busy work. Leadership asking to add AI to evaluate employees and dashboards out the wazoo.

The floor has been raised for sure, and I am writing less boilerplate than before, and am able to diagnose bugs in my work quicker, but the amount of people that seemingly just copy and paste the AI output without critically thinking is causing me distress. There are seemingly no consequences either, more AI = more good.

To be technical, what he read wasn't prompt, it's part of the AI's response to the prompt.

But yes, it's a giant tell that politician used AI to write his speech, and he didn't thoroughly edit the response when preparing the final draft.

I would rather speak to this man than anyone reading anything AI-written

* AI Response. Not prompt.

I was expecting him to read a proper prompt. The prompt would be what he would tell the AI system.

“You are a speech writer, an expert on XYZ… your task is to write ABC…”

It’s not too bad, at least he is using ai. And agree we can replace many of them with AI. At least we will have the opportunity to talk to the ai directly about concerns.

If he only reads the prompt and the RNG state of the prompt time it might be an improvement. Now people will claim that the RNG is sentient.

politicians are one of the easiest jobs to replace with AI

Why exactly is that bad?

Policy influence idea: find out who are the assistants of policians and what ai assistant, subscription they use and give them different answers than to everyone else. You do not have to even corrupt them.

I knew it would be Canada before even opening the link, what a total embarrassment!
