A Conservative MP has delivered a rousing speech to the House of Commons on the state of the UK over the last 12 months.
But the speech wasn’t written by him.
Instead, Luke Evans, the MP for Bosworth, used the ChatGPT artificial intelligence to pen his words for him.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Dr Evans said ‘I think this may be a first’ as he shared the speech, which was produced following an order to the chatbot to come up with a ‘Churchillian speech’ on the state of the country over the last year.
Labour’s Kevin Brennan, the MP for Cardiff West, cut in to ask: ‘Did he write that himself or was it written by artificial intelligence?’
Dr Evans replied: ‘(He) has generally pointed out exactly the point that I’m alluding to, for this speech would have been one you may well have heard in a House but it was actually put together by ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) an artificial intelligence run by OpenAI.’
The Tory MP went on to say he believes there should be ‘a regulator for algorithms and artificial intelligence to run concurrently and in synergy with the technology that we’re developing.’
Speaking on the issue on the final day before MPs adjourn for Christmas, he added: ‘This year there has been a seismic change in the way in which AI can be used.’
ChatGPT, released to the public last month, was initially held back from release because its creators feared how it may be used. Within a week of making it available, it had already seen over a million users interact with it.
The version of the ‘bot available for public testing attempts to understand questions posed by users and responds with in-depth answers resembling human-written text in a conversational format.
Naturally, it learns from each interaction in an attempt to get better.
And, seemingly, it’s up to the task of speechwriting for our politicians.
