AI to query and compare manifestos
I've created an AI using ChatGPT to help you make sense of, and compare, key policies from the main UK political parties. Hopefully this'll make it easer for people to compare the parties and make an informed decision.
It's currently still being tweaked, and not all of the manifestos have been released yet, but hopefully people will find it useful. You'll need to log in with a ChatGPT account to use it.
New manifestos will be added as they are released.
Constructive feedback welcome!

Wording matters and manifestos are wordsmithed to the nth degree.
How do you make sure that the ChatGPT paraphrasing actually remains true to the word and spirit of each policy?

Without double checking yourself you can't, but language models can be designed to include references.
That would actually be the ideal use case here, give you a summary, but points you to the specific parts of the manifesto to go and check yourself

That just sounds like extra, less reliable, steps for just reading the relevant paragraph and summary at the start of the page.

Agreed - they are. This tool is designed to make manifestos more accessible to people who would otherwise just not read them.
If it encourages people to dig deeper and look at the actual wording, then I see that as a win. If they just use it to query manifestos on things they are interested in, I also see that as a win.
People interested in the nuances of how things are worded will examine the manifestos thoroughly anyway imo.
