Auspol Explained

I tested ChatGPT's knowledge of Australian politics


Listen Later

Does AI understand Australian politics? Is ChatGPT a reliable source of information? Well, I asked it to explain elections, the Senate, and the House of Representatives and I was initially impressed by what it got right - followed by mortified by just how incredibly blatantly wrong it could be.

So, enjoy! Come learn a thing or two about how parliament works and also the pitfalls of AI generated information.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I say in this episode that to increase the House of Representatives the easiest way is to give the Territories more Senators. Apparently, the House increases based off the Senate representation from the States - not the Territories. Here's a blog post by Antony Green for more detail: https://antonygreen.com.au/would-creating-extra-senators-for-the-territories-increase-the-house-of-representatives/
