Called Out for AI Slop, Andrew Cuomo Blames One-Armed Man
Briefly

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign for NYC mayor has hit a snag after a housing policy plan was found riddled with errors, including misspellings and an inappropriate reference to ChatGPT. Aide Paul Francis, who has one arm, attributed the blunders to difficulties in using dictation software. The campaign's initial response was evasive, suggesting a lack of review before the document's release. This controversy highlights concerns over the role of technology in political communication and the responsibilities of campaign teams to ensure accuracy.
"It's very hard to type with one hand," Francis said, admitting the policy errors stemmed from using dictation software and the emotional turmoil of the campaign process.
The AI tool ChatGPT provided a controversial solution to the Cuomo campaign's housing policy, leading to a scandal over glaring errors and misattributions.
The Cuomo campaign faced backlash over its handling of the situation, as many questioned why a simple review process was seemingly overlooked.
This incident raises broader questions about accountability and transparency in political campaign messaging, particularly when it involves technology like AI.
