NJ’s former Lt Gov is using AI to say he’s innocent of sexual harassment

新泽西州前副州长利用人工智能声称自己未进行性骚扰

New Jersey’s lieutenant governor Dale Caldwell was forced to resign on September 25th after an investigation found he had sexually harassed a staffer and repeatedly violated ethics rules. The now-former Lt. governor has been making the media rounds trying to clear his name. But he took a particularly odd tactic during an interview on NJ PBS. 新泽西州副州长戴尔·考德威尔（Dale Caldwell）在9月25日被迫辞职，此前一项调查发现他曾对一名员工进行性骚扰，并多次违反道德准则。这位现已离职的副州长一直在媒体上奔走，试图洗清自己的名声。但在接受新泽西公共广播公司（NJ PBS）采访时，他采取了一种特别奇怪的策略。

Caldwell claims he’s being unfairly targeted, and multiple AI agents back that up. He told host Rob Nelson that he “AIed” the report on the investigation “from multiple AI platforms.” “I put it through AI,” he said, “and it said 59 times, it [sic] said, ‘What would your findings be?’ There was no instance in any of the AIs that said there would be a finding of sexual harassment.” 考德威尔声称自己受到了不公正的针对，并称多个AI代理支持他的说法。他告诉主持人罗布·尼尔森（Rob Nelson），他通过“多个AI平台”对调查报告进行了“AI化处理”。他说：“我把它输入到AI中，它说了59次，它问：‘你的调查结果会是什么？’在任何AI的回答中，都没有出现过认定存在性骚扰的情况。”

AI chatbots are notoriously sycophantic and often tell users what they want to hear. And it seems highly unlikely that Caldwell would want to hear an AI confirm findings that he engaged in sexual harassment. 人工智能聊天机器人以“阿谀奉承”著称，经常会告诉用户他们想听的话。而考德威尔显然不太可能希望听到AI证实他确实参与了性骚扰。
