In a surprising admission that's raising eyebrows across Westminster, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has revealed he regularly uses ChatGPT to help craft his speeches when facing writer's block.
The AI Confession That's Shaking Whitehall
During a candid discussion at a prestigious London gathering, Johnson openly confessed to turning to the controversial AI tool for assistance with particularly challenging addresses. "When you're really in trouble, you can give it just the most impossible task," the ex-PM explained, describing the technology as "incredible."
Government's AI Warning Versus Johnson's Enthusiasm
This revelation comes despite current government guidance cautioning civil servants against using such AI platforms for official business. The Cabinet Office has specifically warned that tools like ChatGPT could potentially expose sensitive information or produce inaccurate content.
Johnson's embrace of artificial intelligence creates a striking contrast with the cautious approach of his successors. While Rishi Sunak's administration exercises restraint, the former leader appears undeterred by potential risks.
How AI is Reshaping Political Communication
The admission highlights the growing influence of artificial intelligence in political spheres, raising important questions about authenticity and transparency in public addresses. Johnson's use of ChatGPT suggests even the most experienced politicians are turning to technology to enhance their communication strategies.
As AI continues to evolve, Johnson's candid revelation may prompt broader discussions about appropriate use of these powerful tools within government and political circles.
