Anna Paulina Luna Denies AI Wrote 2027 Defense Amendment, Says Staff Used It for Spellcheck

1 articles · Updated · The Verge · Jun 24

Luna said staff used AI only to spellcheck and grammar-check a summary tied to a 2027 National Defense Authorization Act amendment, not to draft the amendment text itself.
X posts had circulated a screenshot showing stray text including “Claude responded,” prompting speculation that AI had written part of the defense funding measure.
Her initial response said staff had used AI to “correct a draft text,” but she later edited it to specify the tool was used on the amendment summary and not the legislative language.
Luna added that House bill text comes through the House Legislative Council, which she said is barred from using AI, as lawmakers and courts face wider scrutiny over chatbot use in official documents.
