How do government ministers use ChatGPT?

I completely missed this at the time but a New Scientist journal did a FoI request to get access to Peter Kyle’s prompts 👏

Kyle also used the chatbot to canvas ideas for media appearances, asking: “I’m Secretary of State for science, innovation and technology in the United Kingdom. What would be the best podcasts for me to appear on to reach a wide audience that’s appropriate for my ministerial responsibilities?” ChatGPT suggested The Infinite Monkey Cage and The Naked Scientists, based on their number of listeners

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”.

As well as seeking this advice, Kyle asked ChatGPT to define various terms relevant to his department: antimatter, quantum and digital inclusion. Two experts New Scientist spoke to said they were surprised by the quality of the responses when it came to ChatGPT’s definitions of quantum. “This is surprisingly good, in my opinion,” says Peter Knight at Imperial College London. “I think it’s not bad at all,” says Cristian Bonato at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK.

There’s going to be much more of this I suspect, including the inevitability of some absolute shockers amongst how politicians are using LLMs.

Peter Kyle is selling out the nation to American Tech Bros.
He just spouts numbers that will bare no relation to our lived lives, when he was Technology Minister he wanted every household in the UK to have Chat GPT account, which the State was going to pay for.
He's not a government minister, he's a salesman for Silicon Valley

How will that £22 Billion Microsoft investment help the Red Wall loser towns?
