UK Prime Minister accused of speech written by AI.

UK Prime Minister speechwriter Andy Burnham was caught using ChatGPT preparing a keynote speech on the cost of living. The Sunday Mail newspaper writes about it.

According to the publication, a consultant from the Prime Minister's Office worked on the speech on the train from London Houston to Holyhead. His traveling companion noticed that he was consulting a chatbot on how to make Burnham's words more "emotional" while sipping prosecco.

The AI, in particular, advised the Prime Minister's aide to include an "emotional" section in the speech about "workers' clubs, choirs and other social infrastructure" lost as Britain moved away from its industrial base.

Burnham's speech to Labor in Llandudno on Saturday said Margaret Thatcher's government in the 1980s had "destroyed the way of life of communities across Britain". "It must be hard work writing speeches for Burnham," UK Reform chairman Lee Anderson said in response.

In his view, "champagne-drinking socialists" have no plan to combat the cost-of-living crisis, and "AI Andy's image of a man of the people has turned out to be a fiction." In Downing Street they said that the Prime Minister writes most of his speeches himself, which is not unusual.
