NYC Mayor’s Race: Democratic rivals pile on Cuomo for citing ChatGPT in garbled section of housing plan

Leading 2025 NYC mayor’s race candidate Andrew Cuomo faced fierce backlash from his rivals on Monday over his campaign, citing the AI software ChatGPT in a section of his housing plan released over the weekend.

Several mayoral contenders piled on the former governor following a story from the news site Hell Gate, which highlighted a section of his 29-page housing blueprint that references the use of ChatGPT in a footnote. The original version of the page, which has since been replaced with a corrected PDF, also included garbled words and nonsensical sentences, such as its title: “Appoint Rent Guidelines Board Members Who Will Make Decisions Bbjectively.” (sic)
