UK govt says PM’s speeches are mostly all his own work
Downing Street has dismissed reports by The Mail, which published a photograph of Andy Burnham's aide using ChatGPT to rework a speech by the Labour leader.
LONDON: Downing Street has dismissed photos published in a Sunday newspaper that allegedly showed an aide to Prime Minister Andy Burnham using AI to draft his speech. The Mail on Sunday posted the photograph of the aide, sipping prosecco, employing ChatGPT to refine a speech penned by the Labour leader while aboard a train. The image was allegedly captured by a fellow traveler prior to Burnham delivering a speech at the Welsh Labour party conference in Cardiff.
Downing Street spokesperson stated on Sunday: "The Prime Minister writes the majority of his own speeches." The aide reportedly sought input on a pre-written speech draft, according to the Press Association news agency. The newspaper claimed the AI app suggested ways to make the speech more emotionally impactful, but none of those recommendations were included in the final version.
