German MP Daniel Freund (Greens) and Hungarian government spokesman Zsoltan Kovacs engaged in a curious battle of speeches using chatbot ChatGPT. Freund, who is considered one of the harshest critics of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in the EU parliament, said he first asked ChatGPT to write a rap song about corruption.
Kovacs responded by asking Chat-GPT to generate lines of text about friends – with an unsatisfactory result for Kovacs. ChatGPT creates texts using artificial intelligence. Users can enter individual commands or phrases, which the system then independently completes using huge amounts of data from the Internet.
According to a screenshot published by Freund on the online service Twitter on Monday, ChatGPT wrote rhyming lines in English about corruption in Hungary. Translated into German it read: “From football clubs to luxurious palaces; Orban’s empire was built on fraud and con; it’s time to clean up, it’s time to fight; we will not back down until Orban is out of sight.”
The EU is at the back of the corruption index
According to Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, Hungary ranks last out of 27 EU countries. Last December, the EU withdrew €6.3 billion in funding from Hungary over corruption and other problems in the country. Freund, who is also a member of the budgetary control committee in the EU parliament, has long advocated for tougher action against Hungary.
Hungarian government spokesman Kovacs, in response to Freund’s tweet, posted a screenshot of a rap written by ChatGPT about Freund – describing the MP as a “fighter for democracy” whose “agenda shines bright”. Kovacs noted that this text proves that ChatGPT is “no more than a generator of nonsense”.
Freund told AFP news agency on Tuesday that he was “frankly quite impressed” with ChatGPT’s ability to turn “known accusations” against Orban into rap lyrics. However, Kovacs left an AFP request unanswered.
