Newfoundland and Labrador’s New Democratic Party is calling on the provincial government to implement “strict regulations” around the use of artificial intelligence.

“Not only is the use of AI on government reports disgusting, but it’s undermining the confidence in our government to do the work necessary to address the issues in our healthcare system, and truly throughout the province” NDP Leader Jim Dinn said in a news release Monday, in response to The Independent’s Nov. 22 story that revealed the province’s $1.6-million Health Human Resources Plan, commissioned from global consulting firm Deloitte, contained fabricated research citations likely generated by AI.

AI should never be used to compensate for laziness, incompetence or stupidity. If you aren't capable of doing your own job without a crutch, then you shouldn't be doing that job.

But if I can charge the taxpayers the same amount but then do a half ass job for half the price and keep the difference, what's the problem?
