An unnamed Downing Street speechwriter has been accused of using ChatGPT to make UK PM Andy Burnham’s keynote speech on the cost of living more “emotive.”
The No. 10 aide was also seen drinking prosecco, the Italian sparkling white wine, on their way to a party conference in Wales, on the 17.03 train from London Euston to Holyhead on Friday, November 13, reports The Daily Mail on Sunday.
While working on the address, the adviser was also reportedly seen consulting the AI chatbot on ways to improve a section criticizing the legacy of Margaret Thatcher.
For the cost of living speech, the bot recommended an “emotive” passage describing “working men’s clubs, choirs and other social infrastructure” that were lost, per the AI assistant, as Britain moved away from its industrial base, the Mail said, quoting the eyewitness.
Later, in the actual speech delivered to Welsh Labour Members, Burnham said Thatcher’s premiership in the 1980s “shattered the way of life for communities up and down Britain” with “mines closed, factories closed, steelworks silenced,” the outlet notes.

The Prime Minister’s speech also touched upon the subjects that were reportedly suggested by the AI chatbot, as he referred to “the workplaces that created a way of life, the social infrastructure that we took for granted, the working men’s clubs, the sports teams, the choirs, the trade unions”.
He also said, adding, “People came together, looked out for each other.” Slamming the administration, the Chairman of Reform UK and Ashfield MP Lee Anderson told the outlet on Sunday that “It must be thirsty work writing speeches for Burnham.”Adding, “His bubbly-drinking socialists have no plan to tackle the cost-of-living crisis…AI Andy’s man-of-the-people act has been exposed as a sham.”
The chairman then hilariously compared the UK PM to an AI politician, saying, “He’s an artificial prime minister who doesn’t have the faintest clue what he believes or what he’s doing.” A Downing Street spokesman said to the Mail: “The PM writes most of his own speeches and this one was no exception.”
