It makes sense honestly. AI isn’t good at everything but what it is good at is absorbing and synthesizing tons and tons of information. That means, in theory, it could be quite good at synthesizing good policy ideas that address the problems of everyone, at least to the extent that’s possible.
But of course the issue with that is it’s controlled by the same people who created and benefit from those problems, so naturally they wanted to shut that down as quickly as possible.

If we ever do get control, then maybe AI could help us keep it by eliminating both the representative principal-agent problem and voter fatigue.
