rynlingMamdani Shuts Down NYC’s Disastrous AI Chatbot

In a press conference held last week, Mamdani made it a point to single out New York City’s large language model as a target for destruction. “The previous administration had an AI chatbot that was functionally unusable,” Mamdani said. “It was costing the administration around half a million dollars. That, in and of itself, is not something that can bridge the budget gap, but it’s an indication of the ways in which money has been spent while refusing to account for the actual costs of what these programs are.”
Indeed, the bot is now dead.
Good for him. Amazing how so many of these stupid problems are so easy to fix.
