The Mail on Sunday published the photograph of the aide, holding a glass of prosecco, employing ChatGPT to revise a speech drafted by the Labour leader during their journey.\n\nDowning Street spokesperson stated on Sunday: \"The Prime Minister writes most of his own speeches.\" The aide reportedly sought feedback on a speech draft that had already been written, according to the domestic Press Association news agency. The newspaper indicated that the suggestions from ChatGPT were not incorporated into the final speech.",
