Anthony<b>Revealed: How the UK tech secretary uses ChatGPT for policy advice</b><br><blockquote>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<br></blockquote>From <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/2472068-revealed-how-the-uk-tech-secretary-uses-chatgpt-for-policy-advice/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.newscientist.com/article/2472068-revealed-how-the-uk-tech-secretary-uses-chatgpt-for-policy-advice/</a><br><blockquote>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”.<br></blockquote>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?".<br><br><a href="https://buc.ci?t=gpt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPT</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=chatgpt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChatGPT</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=ukpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UKPol</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=policy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#policy</a> <a href="https://buc.ci?t=badideas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BadIdeas</a><br>
