Andrew Cuomo Used ChatGPT for His Housing Plan

The Democratic mayoral frontrunner's "Addressing New York's Housing Crisis" features garbled text and a citation from ChatGPT.

On Saturday, former governor and leading Democratic mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo released his plan for "Addressing New York's Housing Crisis."

The 29-page plan itself is fairly unremarkable—much of it is spent talking about Cuomo's accomplishments as governor and laying out just how hard it is to find and build affordable housing in New York City. Some of the larger, thornier issues, like funding NYCHA and dealing with homelessness, are punted, labeled as "to be addressed in a separate policy paper." Cuomo does differ from some of his Democratic rivals by coming out against rezonings in "low-density neighborhoods," meaning he'd allow much of the city's outer boroughs to refuse new affordable housing. 

By page 28, it appears his campaign ran out of steam.
