But it failed.

AI chatbot he created of himself to talk

[A Labour MP has been criticised and branded
a 'useless twit' after he created
an Artificial Intelligence chatbot
of himself to talk to his constituents.
Mark Sewards, MP for Leeds South West
and Morley, explained that he wanted
to 'embrace' the 'AI revolution' as he
rolled out the
'UK's first virtual MP' today.

But the move sparked anger online,
with some social media commentators
saying he was being 'lazy'
and questioning what he was paid
his £93,000 salary for if a computer
was doing his work for him.]




No, I will not talk to a Stupid Chatbot.



[The chatbot deflected questions about
certain subjects, including the problem
of immigration and small boat crossings]

[A Labour MP has become the first British politician
to make an AI chatbot of himself.

The AI clone was created in an attempt
to allow constituents to contact Mark Sewards
“any time of the day”, but its responses,
when tested by The Telegraph,
they were somewhat lacklustre.

When asked to identify key political figures,
the Sewards chatbot could not say
who the Chancellor or the Deputy Prime Minister
were, could not answer whether Sir Keir Starmer
was a good Prime Minister, and did not even know
who the monarch was.

Mr Sewards, who has been the MP for
Leeds South West and Morley since 2024,
said he had designed, and lent his voice,
to the animated chatbot in order to
“help strengthen the connection between an
MP’s office and the constituents we serve”.
He said that he “knew very little about AI”
but believed “the revolution is coming ... whether
we embrace it or not”.]
