AI Chatbot Takes Only 15 Seconds to Write a Complete Draft Law, Easily Passed

The information was revealed on social network X (Twitter) last week by Porto Alegre city councilor Ramiro Rosario. Accordingly, the "product" was drafted 100% by ChatGPT, and has been in effect since November 23.

The commissioner said that the draft law was built by OpenAI's chatbot within 15 seconds, from a command of about 250 characters, specifically: "Write a law for the city of Porto Alegre, from the perspective of the legislative body, not the executive, in which the city's wastewater department prohibits people from paying for new water meters in case the old meter is stolen."

ChatGPT is an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI that is capable of generating responses by predicting what comes next in a sentence, based on patterns it learned during training.

Rosario said ChatGPT's feedback helped him come up with two new ideas for a controversial issue that has been debated for months.

AI proposed a 30-day deadline for the city to replace stolen meters and a provision to cancel water bills if meters are not replaced by the deadline.

The bill, after being made some minor wording changes by the authorities, was approved by all 36 members of the council, without knowing that it was an AI-generated product.

However, the secret “experiment” using AI in legislative work has made some city officials unhappy.

Hamilton Sossmeier, the city council president, said this sets a dangerous precedent and those involved need to be transparent about ChatGPT's handwriting on the proposal, though after reading it carefully, he acknowledged that “for better or worse, it is an ongoing trend.”

Rosario also explained that the need to keep the bill secret was because lawmakers with biases against AI could block or refuse to vote on it.

“I support the idea that artificial intelligence can help optimize the resources and time of political actors and public officials, allowing them to focus on what is really necessary for their work.”
