Porto Alegre city councilor Ramiro Rosario told ChatGPT: ``Create rules to ensure that the city does not charge taxpayers for water if their water meters are stolen.'' I requested it. Based on the draft created by ChatGPT, Rosario submitted the bill to the City Council. At that time, Mr. Rosario did not reveal to another city council member that ``this bill was created by ChatGPT.'' In October 2023, Porto Alegre's 36-member City Council unanimously approved the bill, which went into effect on November 23, 2023.

However, on November 29th, Rosario suddenly revealed that ``this ordinance was created by ChatGPT.'' Rosario said, ``If we had revealed from the beginning that ChatGPT had created it, the approval of the bill could have been at risk, so we intentionally hid the fact that ChatGPT had created it.'' According to Rosario, by entering just a 49-word prompt into ChatGPT, a perfect draft of the ordinance was generated within seconds.

“It is unfair to the citizens of Porto Alegre that a bill is not approved just because it was created by AI.My goal is not only to solve the local water supply problems, but also to It was controversial,” Rosario said.

In fact, Suffolk University School of Law Dean Andrew Perlman said of ChatGPT, ``Because ChatGPT is a machine learning system, it may not be at the same level as a human lawyer when it comes to interpreting legal principles and case law.'' ``A detailed legal analysis using ChatGPT may

lead to various problems.''

'All the tools we've developed, including ChatGPT, can be used correctly or misused,' Rosario said. 'That's why we need to understand how we can use these tools correctly. 'We must show that,' he argues.

Porto Alegre City Council President Hamilton Sosmeyer initially criticized Rosario, saying, ``A bill created by AI could set a dangerous precedent.'' However, in response to Rosario's remarks, Sosmeyer said, ``It is inevitable that AI will influence the legislative process in the future.For better or worse, this trend may become a trend.'' I am announcing that I have changed it.
