It will be both hilarious and horrifying to see what emerges from Congress playing with AI tools.
I am sorry to say I have grown to have contempt for the vast majority of everyone involved in government. Sometimes it seems that these people would have ended-up being criminals, ambulance chasers, bad used-car sales people or some other combination along those lines. The level of ignorance in our governing bodies is something to behold; hilarious and horrifying in its own right.
This comment applies to all political parties, BTW.
Short story, back in the early 80's I got to spend a lot of time working with the late Frank Zappa. We discussed all kinds of topics over dinner nearly every day for months. It should come as no surprise to anyone of that era who know what Zappa was about that politics was one of his favorite punching bags.
I don't remember the exact statement he made one night. The gist of it was that, as he put it, intelligent and capable people like us don't ever go into politics because the whole thing is a dirty slimy cesspool of ignorant, petulant, self-absorbed, tribal morons who only care about themselves, their political future, their party and not one bit about the people, the country and the job they are supposed to do. An intelligent person wanting to make a difference would quickly be ground to dust and exit all bruised-up.
That was in the 80's. I can't imagine what he would say if he were alive today other than "It got worse than either one of us could have ever imagined.".
It is worse. Today, if you don't fall in line, they will do their best to ruin your life, your career and your family. Why would anyone with more than two connected neurons want any part of that? This is why we end-up with the "leadership" we get, election after election.
And now we are going to give them AI?
Brilliant.
Maybe the rule should be: Government is banned from using AI.
