If you use AI to write your speeches, you clearly have not bothered to study the issue at hand and are therefore not qualified to be representing your constituents on said issue.

I think it’s safe to assume 99% of the geriatrics aren’t fit to be representatives.


Once again, we see AI being embraced by the lazy, the sloppy, and those allergic to effort.


Not like they wrote them before, it’s just the fleshy staffers they had for the task are out of a job now.



Politicians deserve some prison for making fun of democracy by using AI like that.


I’m still waiting for the day when a politician reads: “As an AI model, I don’t have an opinion on this topic, but here’s a convincing speech on…”

Reminds me of the “I’m a black gay guy” tweet

Edit quote and add context

For real - this one remains unforgettable. Thank you.


LOL. What a glorious quote. Goes to show why you shouldn’t be using short form microblogging services for a serious purpose like that.

Maybe just write a normal blog post about it and share the link on xitter? Nah, just paste and post. It’ll be fine…

You know that’s not what was happening, right? The chud thought he logged into a different account and was trying to astroturf. Conservatives do this all the time



And with an em dash in the next tweet. Fucking lunatic. These guys are essentially just overpaid AI models, heavily quantized too.

Wasn’t AI, this was back in early November 2020.


Using normal parts of the English language makes me a lunatic?





Can we talk about him powering through like nothing happened? I can’t figure out if he’s just a robot that has no concept of what he just read out loud or he’s hoping no one noticed.

That’s the standard practice for speeches, where you just power through any mistakes you make while speaking and keep going.

Stopping, or going back to correct the mistake would interrupt the speech more than the mistake did.

Yeah that makes sense. It was just weird to see I guess.



What do you mean? We have always been at war with Eastasia

You are correct, we have always been at war with Eurasia.



politicians basically just read like AI verbatim anyways.


They’re just robots when they’re giving speeches.



Ban him for life.


“I can’t write a cohesive argument on why I am intuitively against this idea so let me ask AI to do it instead”


Do we really need the position open if all they are doing is reporting on what the magic 8-ball showed them? We could pay minimum wage to some teen and save a big chunk of that wage money those politicians get too much of.


It’s not confirmation bias if the bias is confirmed, is it?

(For the non-canucks, the “progressive” part isn’t supported by facts, so ya know)

>progressive >conservative So neither??

They like extracting oil and natural resources, but also giving it away near free to other countries (read: usa). So kinda both?

He’s from New Brunswick, it’s a bit different here.

We give all our forests to Irving, they wreck the environment, and we keep them in check by giving them huge tax breaks.

It’s a win-win-win.



Every so often in Canada, conservatives get to be unpopular enough they need to merge with other parties so they can win. They merged with the Progressive Party a long time ago so that’s what they’re called Progressive Conservative in a lot of provinces. Except in Alberta where they had to do more mergers and they’re the United Conservative Party now.

Federally, the Progressive Conservative Party later merged with the Reform party and I guess “reform” cancels out “progressive” so they’re just the Conservative Party at the Federal level now.

Thanks for the lore!



Yeah, he’s an oxyMORON !




Ron, why did you say that? Why? Why, Ron, why? You were my hero, Ron. You come out with… stink like that. Poop… you poopmouth.

I’m sorry, we were looking for “Dammit! Who typed a question mark on the Teleprompter? For the last time, anything you put on that prompter, Burgundy will read!”




Can’t these old ass geezers just die already?


Not a prompt, it’s the part of a conversational AI’s response that isn’t the requested content. A kind of framing, header or footer.


Unrelated to the topic at hand, but man, have his politics ruined this show for me harder than the terrible acting.

he had a series of strokes during a chiro adjustment, which made him CRAY cray, and it just unmased his jealousy for xena. he even had his own show, andromeda, he ruined thar too.



He’s a conservative. My expectations weren’t high.



and of course he’s a conservative

I was honestly hoping it wouldn’t be a con just so I wouldn’t feel so justified in shitting on them all the time


Dumbass. Fire this scrub now.


Continues…..yes the blue pill can give you harder erections but here’s what it can’t do for your speech….

what a fucking embarrassment, and I’m American. this is worse than any dumb shit the Cheeto in chief could say.

…I know the standard for what qualifies as an embarrassment is in the centre of the Earth down there, but uh… yeah, no. I trust the senile-yet-relatively-stable politician to say the less awful thing over Mr. Pedo-Genocide, thank you.

didn’t know we were in a micropenis pissing contest.




Comments from other communities

I like how he isn’t even processing what he is reading/saying while he is saying it.


The way he doesn’t stop himself makes me think he doesn’t know/assumes it’s there for him to read from whoever did the AI for him


Too out of touch to even realize what happened.


Most people would be chewed out for such sloppy, careless work.


Such a good speaker sure seems like he could’ve held a speech about something he personally feels is right. Was he bought?


imo the biggest sign of “I didnt write this” is constantly looking at the paper and sometimes even still struggling to read it and keep the speech going smoothly. cuz when you take the time write it yourself your brain just remembers most of it and fills in the blanks, or you can go slightly off-script and deliver the same general idea.


Oh man, I knew what to expect and was still caught offguard by how much this made me lose interest in what the guy is saying.

The guy doesn’t actually have anything to say, apart from some bulletpoint list, apparently. He didn’t care to logically think it through and formulate an argument. He didn’t even care to proofread it. Why should I care about the words he reads off of that sheet of paper?


That “what, nothing happened just now” attitude as he barrels right through the blunder is absolutely stunning. Lips confidently flapping away making important sounding noises; no care at all for what’s coming out of them. Blatant puppetry.
