    @evacide undaunted, they will presumably propose to address this by deploying the same models to generate responses to said requests. 🫠

    @evacide One of my very first expert systems, 1986, helped government engineers write ADP (Automated Data Processing) procurement proposals, a dark art, tedious, and likely to be rejected for one obscure reason or another. Your proposal had to be approved before you guy buy a computer. The success rate went from 10% to near 100%, and soon the number of proposals soared. The head of the office that reviewed the proposals came to me for help. Could I create a system to help them review proposals? <<lightbulb>> I said yes and used practically the same software to review as I did to create proposals. I was a hero. Soon, people didn’t even look at the proposals. Then they did away with the ADP requirement and the office. Life was good.

    @evacide "Golly gee why is this happening?" 🤦🏻‍♀️ Admin burden should be addressed throughout the process, not tacked on after the fact. Better yet, make govt services simpler and easier to follow, have efficient appeals process and properly resourced to begin with and there would be no need this nonsense.

    But why fix a crappy process when you can add agents to it and call it progress?
