Read the original article on metro.co.uk (opens in a new tab)Metro reports a Mail on Sunday claim that a Downing Street speechwriter used ChatGPT on a train to get feedback on a draft of Andy Burnham's speech to the Welsh Labour conference. It attributes the claim to the Mail on Sunday, gives No 10's response, and notes that the passage seen in the photographs was not used. Nothing in it misleads its reader.
“According to the Mail on Sunday”
Metro names the paper the claim comes from instead of presenting the photographs and their account as its own reporting.
“An aide sought feedback on a speech draft that had already been written.”
Metro prints Downing Street's account of what the aide did, so the reader hears the response alongside the accusation.
“He did not use the specific passage seen in the pictures taken of the aide's phone.”
Metro adds a fact that limits the story's charge: the passage the chatbot commented on did not appear in the delivered speech.
