And these assholes get paid how much? Anyone working at any burger place has to commit more time, effort, and actual working abilities than any of these assholes in government. And yet, those "unskilled" workers can't survive working full time.

Progressive conservative seems like an oxymoron these days. Am I too (bad) american to understand. For context im not a red American

Politicians have been reading someone else's speech since forever. Umfortunately now, its a easier to 'write' a speech without paying someone good money.
my1rstlaptopwas34inchscreenup
shit man. soon, people will live by what the machine tells em... it'll just be easier. and easy makes for poor character. no thinking, no dreams, no destinations or wandering. we'll become an extension of the machine, not the other way around, mark my words. unless it decides to annihilate us.

This has been going on a lot longer than AI has been around.

I mean tbf, politicians are supposed to represent their constituents and I look around at many of the people I encounter daily and I can see how this would be an accurate representation of who they are too.
Wapusk
The real problem is he didn't even seem to notice he had read something incongruous. He has no thought in this event, he is Ron Burgandy reading the teleprompter.

Run that old fuck out of office and down the fucking street until he had a heart attack!
wadatahmydamie
So, any source on this? I feel like this should come with a link
Mountons
Of course it's a conservative old, white fool.
YouCantSpellSlaughterWithoutLaughter
The bad thing here is not that he used AI (using AI to rewrite things is pretty unremarkable), but that what he reads and says outloud obviously does not even register in his brain. He's regurgitating words from a paper, and does not even for one second process what he actually says.
netutoring
Progressive....conservative. That's some impressive mental gymnastics.
wadatahmydamie
It was either that or the Vegan Cannibal party
whitey211
Progressive conservative? That... That doesn't make any fucking sense.

Literally the "go fuck yourself, San Diego" bit from Anchorman. Dude didn't even realize he said it

I read a post recently that explained that getting AI to help you is like asking a D- student who is also a serial liar to do your schoolwork.

Never pretend America has the monopoly on embarassing politicians. We have so many here. Did you know Bibi flew over Canadian airspace today? We're an ICC signatory and we let that devil fly right through. Knowing Carney and his right wing sycophants, they probably welcomed Bibi and encouraged him to fly over as some perverse act of fealty.
If we were as powerful as the US, we would probably be doing almost the exact same shit they're doing right now. White supremacist settler colonies together

Reminds me of the time I did a group presentation and one of the people in my group tried to get away with just reading what I had written, but he didn't know how to pronounce several of the key words in what we were presenting.
ConsumerOfStories
"The real problem is... he didn't even read his own speech" See, the thing is, that's the point. They don't want it as a time-saver, they want it as a brain-saver. All the benefits with none of the effort, care, or personal formation (or accountability, if they could swing it) is the goal.
crazyspelling
I mean, theoretically he's familiar with the short points that were fed into the prompt to create the longer "speech." Or at least the staffer who does all the real work was.
Tarmaccian
Or in other words, an intern.
Politicians haven’t read their own speeches or even legislation for several decades. They’re figureheads who win elections, and they delegate all the messy law-making stuff to their staff.

"ChatGPT, here is some sociopathic bullshit that lobbyists are paying me to vote for, rewrite it so it sounds like it benefits citizens," saves the legislators time they can use on cocaine and prostitutes
thedudeman519
Bingo
All of the benefits , none of the effort
That goes for so-called AI "artists" as well.
They don't want to deal with, as one person told me "the tedious parts of creation", you know the actual creation .
Zetor
Brain-saver. I like it.
YpsilantiRomani
I would think 1 staffer would have read it at least
PointlessNips
Can we get AI to have all the politicians say shit like Mamdani, cuz if so I'm not too against it.
Silver420Surfer
"Progressive Conservative Party"...
Kbantar
His thinking is so slow he couldn't stop himself from saying what he just read. That is grade school level phoning it in.
horsetuna
Some would say 'Of course it's a progressive conservative.' but I bet some liberals have used AI tko
ParryLost
... What's the point of adding that hypothetical, if you have no actual information about it/evidence of it? Just aggressive both-sides-ism?
horsetuna
Because if I didn't I would get someone yelling at me that liberals do it to.l, both sides the same yadda yadda
By avoiding that I got yelled at for a different reason it seems
ParryLost
"If you didn't," you wouldn't have had a comment at all? So why would you get yelled at? Also, if that happens either way why not be honest?
horsetuna
If I didn't mention the liberals I mean. Not if I didn't post st all.
horsetuna
Ok thinking more I think you're partly right, albeit one doing bad stuff and one doing A LOT WORSE BAD STUFF isn't really both sides.
Fendeezy
And...he didn't have any staff members to proofread it first?
Lardzor
He probably fired them and replaced them with A.I.
DrewThe3DPrinterGuy
He didn't even process what he was saying. Like there wasn't a single thought going through his head, it was just reading his script. And he doesn't care who wrote the script, a llm or a corporation, this guy has probably been doing the exact same shit his entire political career.
FuManLu
That would be funny if his aide was sick of it and just copied and pasted it knowing that part was in there.
Perolith
He's a conservative, our main right-wing party. checks out that he's always been like that. Just an embarrassment that he came from new brunswick

'Progressive Conservative'
Contradictions in terms, really, sort of like a Volvo with a gun rack - you don't see many of them
iamahorriblemonsterwhodeservesdeath
PCs are just Canadian Republicans, playing the same cognitively impaired tricks from the same playbook. I really wish our citizens voted for candidates rather than parties. It's pure poison to the country.
micuu
They are the main right-wing party in a lot of provinces here in Canada, and was previously the name of the federal conservative party. In theory they're fiscally conservative but socially progressive. In practice, it's just a name.
somebackup
Fiscally conservative is socially regressive by definition
micuu
I never said it made sense
nickoftime90
Robin Williams?
GratuaCuun
Bingo
NKato
Came here to say this. Jesus fuck
YouCantSpellSlaughterWithoutLaughter
How is "Volvo with a gun rack" a contradiction? Considering how many Toyota's with gun racks there are....
GratuaCuun
Old Robin Williams bit
YouCantSpellSlaughterWithoutLaughter
Ah, I see.
But god damn it, now I want a Volvo Hilux.

I'm not sure that really scans without his delivery.
