Reference News Network said on December 28 that Ramiro Starbaum Rosario, a member of the City Council of Porto Alegre, Brazil, had an idea one day: to have a chat generation pre-trained converter (chatgpt) help him write a law.
Rosario then sent precise instructions to the AI engine: "Write a municipal code for the city of Porto Alegre, legislative, rather than administrative, that prohibits owners from having to spend money to buy new meters from the municipal water and sewerage authorities in the event of a stolen meter." ”
In less than 15 minutes, Rosario had a convincing copy of the bill.
A few days later, Rosario submitted the bill to the plenary session of the City Council. The law was unanimously adopted by 36 councillors and promulgated on December 23 by Mayor Sebastião Melo. As the text of ChatGPT has become law, Rosario told his colleagues in his speech that neither he nor his advisory group were involved in the writing of the text, and that what they had just approved was the product of artificial intelligence. The crowd in the hall was visibly stunned, almost to the point of confusion. No one knows how to deal with this phenomenon, which was later summed up as "replacing politicians with computers".
A lot of people objected, but didn't raise it directly. Only one colleague said to me that I should have said earlier that it was a bill written by artificial intelligence," Rosario told Le Monde, "and he even told me that this law should be repealed, although there is no legal possibility of it." ”
With 1.3 million inhabitants, Porto Alegre is one of the main cities in Brazil. (Compiled by Su Jiawei).
