Kantanka Funeral Drama Receives Fresh Twist as Dr Siaw Claims Tribute Was Written by ChatGPT

• Family secretary Dr Philip Siaw accused Adwoa Safo's camp of using AI for a tribute
• He claimed a video clip showed an AI prompt left inside the tribute's opening line
• Dr Siaw also flagged a spelling error in the word apostle on a funeral banner

Dr Philip Siaw Kissi, family secretary and co-chairman of Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka's funeral committee, has accused Adwoa Safo's camp of using ChatGPT to write the late apostle's official tribute.

Dr Siaw has not shied away from making headline claims about the funeral saga.

He had earlier claimed that Adwoa Safo pushed for a dummy to replace her father's body during the burial rites, alleging the dummy would be prepared in South Africa.

He also claimed Adwoa Safo's team outsmarted the family with a decoy coffin, saying a hearse with a coffin was still parked at the Transitions Funeral Home while another vehicle was seen heading to the funeral grounds.

Dr Siaw claims tribute written by AI

He has now levelled another claim, this time accusing Adwoa Safo's camp of using artificial intelligence to write the late apostle's tribute.

In an interview on UTV's Mpu ne Mpu show, Dr Siaw claimed the tribute was written with AI, citing a clip that was played as evidence.

A clipped video circulating online showed someone reading from the biography, with the opening line captured as:

"This section should be inserted into the biography immediately."

Dr Siaw bemoaned the use of AI to write a tribute for a person of Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka's stature in society, questioning the credibility of the entire process.

He also pointed out a spelling mistake in the word "apostle" on one of the banners printed for the funeral grounds, adding it to his list of concerns about the standard of the funeral's preparation.

The X video of Dr Siaw's interview on UTV, in which he outlined his claims about the AI-written tribute to Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, can be seen below.
