Screenshot of a paragraph from linked website: Through a series of public records requests, Cascade PBS and KNKX obtained thousands of pages of ChatGPT conversation logs from city officials in Washington. The volume of the records suggests widespread use of the technology in local government. In addition to drafting mayoral letters, officials have asked ChatGPT to generate social media posts, policy documents, talking points, speeches, press releases, responses to audit recommendations, application materials for grants and replies to constituents’ emails.
