I do agree it's limited to a small scope of New York-based smaller LLMs, but if you read the news you know why exactly this bill occured - just now Mamdani gave up on a useless chatbot made with local budget by his predecessor Adams: https://www.thecity.nyc/2026/01/30/mamdani-unusable-ai-chatbot-budget/ It was indeed giving inaccurate legal recomendations on city's website. I think the better result that can happen to that bill is it becoming a trend across cities and states as, I suspect, New York administration wasn't the only one falling for this scam.
