I spoke to the AI avatar of a Leeds MP. How did it cope with my Yorkshire accent? Leeds MP Mark Sewards has launched a digital assistant, but the results of my chat show MPs’ aides have nowt to worry about

β€˜Its interpretation of my accent is terrible and much of it is transcribed as unreadable gobbledegook.’

Translators are the unsung heroes of international book releases. I've set up a page on my website, only two entries so far but I'm hoping to eventually list all the translators that want to be there.

Let's not use "hallucinate" or "lie" when we talk about ChatGPT. It can't make decisions, it doesn't have a conscious thought, it's not having a conversation with you.

It's regurgitating false information based on stolen content without context or nuance.
