I am, now that you mention it, almost certain that if we simply replaced the entire upper levels of the federal govt with ChatGPT Instances, and gave them access to the appropriate information for the position they are filling, they would outperform our democracy in very dramatic fashion.
I don’t think anyone is gonna go for it any time soon though. Founding fathers didn’t make provisions for AI officeholders.
And if they fucked up we’d all die in nuclear fireballs. That too. They probably wouldn’t though, firing nukes for no reason isn’t in their databases very much. But best not to risk it, I think.
