Let's be honest though the majority of politicians are so terrible at their job, that this might actually be one of the rare occurrences where AI actually improves the work. But it is very susceptible to unknown influences.
Fuck no. Rather an incompetent politician than a hallucinating sycophant just telling you what you want to hear.
I'm just making an objective observation. I don't condone it. I rather we just have competent politicians. But it seems only people who can't function elsewhere are drawn to the position..
Nah you are wrong and should use AI as a first opinion
Wait... how many fingers do you have on each hand?
Depends

That's the big issue. If it was only about competence, I think throwing dice might yield better results than what many politicians are doing. But AI isn't throwing dice but instead reproduces what the creators of the AI want to say.
Depending on the AI, it will conclude that he ought to buy a new phone charger, deport all the foreigners, kill all the Jews or rewrite his legislation in Perl. It's hard to say without more information.
Not much different than real politicians then.
Real politicians would use Cobol, but yes.
They aren't terrible, they make it look like that bcs they do evil things and the public is not who they really work for.
They know what they're doing and it's easier to get away with it when it looks like incompetence or mistakes.
