Boris Johnson: he hasn’t gone away, you know.
This week, the former UK prime minister gave an interview to Al Arabiya English. In the course of the chat, journalist Michael Prendergast asked Johnson if he uses AI and ChatGPT.
And his response has gone viral on Twitter/X – mostly for how he pronounces “AI” and “ChatGPT”.
Why does Boris Johnson pronounce ‘AI’ and ‘ChatGPT’ like this? pic.twitter.com/0YXhFOiWqF

Is this video AI because the way Johnson pronounces AI and Chat GPT is unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. https://t.co/V1lAaI7DWH

Back in the day when my friends and I would sit around and get stoned we’d take two or more words and combine em and say them as if they were one. For example “nice eyes” would turn into “nysize”. Very dumb I know but Boris says chatgpt just like we eventually would have https://t.co/mHqKsDPwsw

But if you get past the initial “WTF-ery” of how he’s pronouncing the words, Johnson is confirming something that many have suspected about the man for decades: that he’s lazy and surrounds himself with people (or things) telling him he’s great.

what he’s actually saying here is absolutely repugnant, but you won’t even realise as you’ll be too distracted by how he pronounces “AI” and “ChatGPT” https://t.co/XInf9SnUVs

Him believing that AI would think his questions are “clever” is interesting https://t.co/yPtvHvnV9H

Our entire country was run by someone who has openly just said “the robot says I’m great” on a televised interview. Britania rules the fucking waves, eh Boz? https://t.co/KiQzW8Gp7I
