The UK government embracing AI? I’m sorry, that’s nonsense and I can prove it
Chris Stokel-Walker

Welp, #appleintelligence in the new #iPhone #iOS update has completely bollixed the dictation and #Siri on the phone. The #AI is completely mistaking commands for queries, even offering #ChatGPT to figure out what I am saying. #Apple needs to realize that if non-technical people get a bad impression of their system, they will turn it off and never turned it on again. Why I keep on turning it on, I don't know. In any case, I am turning it off, again.

Revealed: How the UK tech secretary uses ChatGPT for policy advice
New Scientist has used freedom of information laws to obtain the ChatGPT records of Peter Kyle, the UK's technology secretary, in what is believed to be a world-first use of such legislation
From https://www.newscientist.com/article/2472068-revealed-how-the-uk-tech-secretary-uses-chatgpt-for-policy-advice/
These records show that Kyle asked ChatGPT to explain why the UK’s small and medium business (SMB) community has been so slow to adopt AI. ChatGPT returned a 10-point list of problems hindering adoption, including sections on “Limited Awareness and Understanding”, “Regulatory and Ethical Concerns” and “Lack of Government or Institutional Support”.
Apparently it didn't say "because it's unhelpful and probably harmful to most SMB problems" or "what on earth are you doing asking a computer this you fool?".

These are not serious people, and they do not understand the technological world they have been voted in to regulate. The Tech Bros will just dangle shiny things in front of these unserious politicians and there goes our Future.

"Oh Chat GPT, which podcasts should I go on? I could ask a human being with a mind, but instead I'll ask Fancy Autocorrect for the most likely answer that I want to hear"

2hago 13.08 GMT Peter Kyle uses ChatGPT for work research, Fol request reveals, as PM says he wants officials to use Al much more In my opening post this morning, about Keir Starmer’s civil service reform speech, I speculated about Al replacing politicians. (See 9.35am.) It was intended as a joke, to lighten the tone at the end of something a bit long and dry, but it turns out that I was more prescient than I realised. Because New Scientist has just revealed that Peter Kyle, the science secretary, consults ChatGPT when he is conducting work research. In his story Chris Stokel-Walker says: 44 This week, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the UK government should be making far more use of Al in an effort to increase efficiency. “No person’s substantive time should be spent on a task where digital or Al can do it better, quicker and to the same high quality and standard,” he said.

Now, New Scientist has obtained records of Kyle’s ChatGPT use under the Freedom of Information (Fol) Act, in what is believed to be a world-first test of whether chatbot interactions are subject to such laws. These records show that Kyle asked ChatGPT to explain why the UK’s small and medium business (SMB) community has been so slow to adopt Al. ChatGPT returned a 10-point list of problems hindering adoption, including sections on “Limited Awareness and Understanding”, “Regulatory and Ethical Concerns” and “Lack of Government or Institutional Support”.
Stokel-Walker says Kyle also used ChatGPT to give advice on what podcasts he should appear on to reach an audience appropriate to his ministerial responsibilities, and to define scientific terms like antimatter, quantum and digital inclusion. The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology initiatially rejected the Fol request on the grounds that Kyle consulted ChatGPT in a personal capacity as well as in a work capacity. But it responded when the request was revised just to cover work seaches. In his story Stokel-Walker quotes one expert saying he was surprised that the department agreed to release the responses to a ChatGPT question under Fol. Alaywer told New Scientist that, on the basis of this precedent, Google searches could be covered too. But another expert argued that Google searches don’t create new content, whereas a ChatGPT question does. The DSIT told Stokel-Walker that the material Kyle got from ChatGPT was not a substitute for the “comprehensive advice” he received from officials.
