Canadian MP reads AI chatbot prompt in legislature speech

Canadian MLA Bill Oliver (Progressive Conservative, Kings Centre, New Brunswick) read aloud an AI chatbot prompt during a legislative speech on government advocacy offices.

Oliver's prompt instructed the AI to produce a more natural, flowing version of his speech, which he then read verbatim to the legislature.

The incident was captured on video and went viral on Reddit and X, drawing widespread mockery and calls for his resignation.

Oliver's gaffe involved saying: 'Here's a more natural, flowing version of that section that reads like a legislative speech rather than a series of short points.'
