It's not often that Caitlin Johnstone leads with some humour but this post is one:
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.
This is almost up there with masturbating on a Zoom call when your camera is not shuttered.
Oliver wins the Ron Burgundy gaffe of the month award.
