A university student in Britain used artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT to write a letter to her local city council, and successfully overturned a £60 parking fine.
She told British broadcaster ITV News that initially, she was going to pay the money as she thought challenging the summons was not worth the hassle.She asked ChatGPT to help her write a well-articulated letter with the prompt “Please help me write a letter to the council, they gave me a parking ticket”.“It came back with this perfectly formed personalised response within minutes,” she told the BBC.
Within days of sending off the AI-generated email, she was notified that the appeal had been accepted and the council withdrew the fine.
