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

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.

The commissioner said 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 it prohibits the city's wastewater department from asking residents to pay for new water meters in case the old meter is stolen."

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, President of the City Council, said this sets a dangerous precedent and those involved need to be transparent about ChatGPT's involvement in the proposal, although 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's creation secret was due to lawmakers with biases against AI being able to block or refuse to vote.

“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.”
