Canadian Politician Bill Oliver Accidentally Reads AI Prompt During Assembly Speech
Politician reads AI prompt during assembly
Canadian politician Bill Oliver sparked widespread amusement and criticism after appearing to read an AI prompt directly during a speech in the Legislative Assembly. The incident, captured on video and shared by news.com.au, highlights the growing integration of artificial intelligence in political workflows and the potential for embarrassing human error when relying on automated tools without proper review.
Artificial intelligence and natural stupidity unite.

I feel like the world has lost 30 IQ points over the last two years. I can’t think of a better way to describe it, the dumbing down of everything is palpable and accelerating.

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

Many comments pointing out this is part of the response rather than the prompt.
But the whole speech is the response. What do you call the bits at the start "Certainly, I can write a speech in this style" type thing, and at the end "Would you like to learn more about political speech writing?"
Perhaps something like "AI tells" but perhaps there's already an industry term.
Edit: hadn't watched the video, this is the former "response to prompt" type tell.
