"Here's a more natural and fluid version..." Canadian Politician Criticized Online for Reading AI-Generated Text During Speech

July 29, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

Bill Oliver, a politician from the Progressive Conservative Party in New Brunswick, Canada, has gone viral after reading an AI-generated text aloud during a speech in the Legislative Assembly. He appeared to be reading not only AI-generated content but also the chatbot's typical introductory phrase, which praises its polished tone: "Here's a more natural and fluid version..."

The controversy, which has gained significant traction on platforms like YouTube, X, and Instagram, is less about the use of AI itself and more about preparation, proofreading, and accountability. Online critics argued that the real issue was that Oliver seemingly hadn't reread his own speech before delivering it to the Assembly.

This incident has quickly become a symbol of the lazy use of AI in politics. The video fuels criticisms that some politicians are entrusting their public addresses to AI or their staff without adequately verifying the output, raising questions about trust, seriousness, and public representation.
