In a recent development, Imran Khan, the Chairman-for-life of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has denied the use of artificial means in the publication of an essay that went viral on social media. This clarification comes in response to doubts raised by observers regarding the authorship of the piece, which was published under Imran’s name in The Economist.
During a talk with journalists at Adiala Jail, Imran revealed that he had verbally dictated the essay. However, he stated that he did not personally write it, but rather provided points that were then put into words using artificial intelligence.
In an attempt to address concerns about the origins of the essay, sources close to Imran explained that it was a consolidation of facts that he had shared with visitors in prison. These facts, which were already available on social media platforms, were possibly relayed to someone in the magazine who then composed them into an article.
The PTI party, in a statement released by its Central Media Department, rejected media reports on the content and mode of publication of the essay. The statement emphasized that the article had been authored by Imran Khan himself and not through the use of artificial means, including artificial intelligence.
Since its publication, the essay has gained significant traction, with multiple reposts from the publication’s official social media account and over 25 million views.
In the essay, Imran expresses concern that the upcoming general elections may not take place, and even if they do, he believes they would be a disaster and a farce due to the PTI’s alleged denial of its basic right to campaign. He also criticizes the performance of the Pakistan Democratic Government, accusing them of destroying the economy and alleging that he has been targeted by the establishment.
This clarification from Imran Khan aims to dispel doubts surrounding the publication of the essay. While some observers continue to question the authorship, Imran maintains that he verbally dictated the article and stands by its content.
