If there’s one thing we love more than catching a politician stupid, it’s the excuse they come up with to try and get away with it. The latest concerns Florida Republican Anna Paulina Luna, who was caught using artificial intelligence in a draft amendment to the bill because the text contained the phrase “Claude replied:”. Which can hint that someone inserted in the conversation with An anthropic chatbot with the same name<\/a> and forgot to hide. Luna was quick to stop the accusation, posting on X (reportedly Gizmodo<\/a>) that its staff “used AI to correct the draft text and did not edit”, adding that it was “not a shock” as “most staff use it”.<\/p>\n Soon after, her posts were deleted, probably because it would not be ideal to admit that you used AI to do your work for you. She then posted an amended explanation saying “my staff used AI to check the spelling\/grammar of the SUMMARY of the amendment, not the text of the amendment itself.” Shortly after, she wrote again: “FYI, legislation is not developed by AI,” and the screenshot simply displayed “a summary of the bill that is also used for spell checking.” She also asked, “what kind of fool made up this story?” and to further bolster her smart credentials, threw in a tears of joy emoji for good measure.<\/p>\n Look, I’m a simple country lawyer without your fancy twists, so I totally believe Luna’s answer. After all, it makes a lot of sense for someone to use an AI chatbot to check spelling and grammar, since that feature hasn’t been widely available on computers since Luna was six years old. Hell, even if you used to superman (grammar)<\/a> mark hideous AI<\/a> to check spelling and grammar, it won’t insert links to its brand into the text of the documents you’re working on. Which makes me think that, you know, maybe parts of this story aren’t quite true.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Florida Republican claimed he was using Claude as a proofreader, nothing more.
