    The plan is 29 pages long. By page 28, it devolves into gibberish: [Andrew Cuomo, PDF, archive]

    This is a politically convenient posture, but to be in. Victory if landlords — small landlords in particular — are simply unable to maintain their buildings.

    A citation on page 28 includes ChatGPT in the cited web page URL.

    Cuomo’s campaign defended ChatGPT as a perfectly good research tool — and not, say, a hallucinating rubbish generator — and said the literal nonsense bits were errors from voice recognition software.

    What? That looks exactly like an error from voice recognition software. It looks nothing at all like an LLM hallucination.

    I’m just as in favor as anybody of finding someone much better than Cuomo as the competitor to Eric Adams. But this particular reason to criticize him appears totally made up.

      That still means nobody proofread it. If I lived there it wouldn’t be inspiring confidence.

        yeah wtf, as if that’s an excuse.

        “it’s not that I didn’t care enough to come up with my own sentences, it’s that I didn’t care enough to read, or even have an intern read, what the fuck was written after I dictated them.”

        what a save
