Congress picked its favorite AI, and it's not even close
House offices spent $113,740 on AI tools over the past year, and CNBC found ChatGPT swallowed roughly 90 percent of it, about $100,580 across 798 transactions. Claude limped in second with just $13,160. Staffers use these bots to write memos, summarize bills, and answer constituents. Democratic offices outspent Republicans three to one, $54,165 versus $15,782, hinting AI adoption on the Hill has a partisan tilt too.
Nothing says 'representative democracy' like your elected officials outsourcing their homework to a chatbot.
