OpenAI launched ChatGPT last November
A politician delivered a speech in the Welsh Parliament generated by the controversial chatbot ChatGPT.
He admitted that his speech ended a little strangely when he proclaimed “Long live the darts.”
Mr Giffard told the BBC that he had made the speech to Wales “to show how advanced the technology is”.
ChatGPT wrote most of the script, but Mr. Giffard edited one erroneous line claiming Wales won for the first time.
This is the first time the controversial tool is known to have been used in the Welsh Parliament’s deliberative chambers.
This tool by OpenAI is trained on information from the internet and can answer questions from users.
It has been used to write marketing copy, computer code, songs, and more.
In a 90-second statement published in The Sened, Giffard said the team of Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton “showed incredible skill, guts and teamwork throughout the tournament.”
He said they had shown the world that “Wales is a champion nation capable of competing and winning at the highest level” and called them “true ambassadors for Wales and darts”.
“The World Cup of Darts is a great show of diversity, excitement and camaraderie in our sport.”
“People from different countries gather [and] A culture united by a love of darts.
“I hope you all enjoy this celebration and join us in celebrating our Welsh heroes. Long live Wales, long live Darts.”
“You might think it’s a strange ending to a speech,” he said, revealing to The Sened that it was written in software.
Asked by BBC Wales why, MS West South Wales said: “We have decided to use ChatGPT for the first time in the Senned Chamber this afternoon to show how advanced the technology is.”
“The fact that AI can create entire speeches that can be presented in Congress shows the potential of this technology and potential pitfalls for future legislators.”
