MP spotted using ChatGPT to respond to constituents on the train
An MP has been spotted on a train using ChatGPT to respond to constituents' correspondence, the Mirror can reveal.
A fellow passenger, who previously worked in Parliament, noticed that Northampton South MP Mike Reader had his laptop open and recognised he was using a software programme called "Caseworker" which is widely used in the House of Commons by MPs and their staff...
The source said: “He was copying the entire constituent email into ChatGPT, and then asking ChatGPT to respond. I couldn’t believe it. ChatGPT to reply to constituents. How lazy is that? You can see ChatGPT giving a response starting with ‘Thank you for raising your deep concerns about the situation in Gaza’.” In the notes on Caseworker, Mr Reader allegedly wrote: "ChatGPT generated. Mike approved."
A formulaic response is a formulaic response, however an MP chooses to compile it. Anyone paying attention will be aware that in numerous comparable situations most responses from any hierarchy will be formulaic. The BBC has been doing it for decades.
An interesting aspect is that constituents may as well ask ChatGPT for the formulaic response and cut out the middleman. They could then forward the ChatGPT response to their MP and ask if the MP agrees with it.
Hmm...
Something seems to be unwinding.

Thank you for your deep and heartfelt post, Mr. Haart. Now I must learn robotic response.
I'm beginning to think that any AI generated stuff is going to start admitting the far-left bias of the BBC, and other leftie rags, because there are so many 'private' sites where comment is distinctly anti-government, and if the algorithms are doing their job, the dissent at the appalling Labour policies must become apparent in searches for answers.
If AI doesn't throw up these changes, then we have to assume that they're being tinkered with by the 'powers', etc., and we'll never get the truth, or a reasonable answer, to the real problems we face at this very moment!
The Telegraph has a piece on how employers - or recruiters, since that’s how it’s done these days - are increasingly using chatbots to conduct preliminary interviews and, inevitably, candidates are using the same technology to write applications and assist them in answering the interviewer’s questions.
Thus we have a situation where a job application is written with the aid of AI and leads to an interview in which one bot effectively interviews another.
Whether the candidate is actually suitable for the post is anybody’s guess but, as the Civil Service internship scandal makes clear, we no longer live in a meritocracy; all that matters is that he/she/they will enable HR to tick the correct boxes.
James - it's what Orwell didn't realise, Newspeak will be Robospeak.
Scrobs - early days from what I see, they can be surprisingly even-handed, although we all know who wants to make sure that can't happen.
Macheath - it's as if we are there already in that box-ticking jobs are already filled by box-tickers and merit goes where it is valued. Two-tier recruitment could be one reason why we have two-tier justice.
