AI will also process and condense reports from hundreds of public consultations held by ministers. The drafts will be verified by staff to check sources and catch inaccuracies.

Ah, so it's not going to actually alleviate any work for civil servants. Instead they have to sift through and correct a bunch of AI hallucinations, on top of their normal duties. Marvellous.

Sweet fucking Jesus.

I know a reasonably senior civil servant who says MPs are practically wetting their knickers at the prospect of AI doing their job for them while massively reducing civil service headcount at the same time. Obviously in the waves of AI-Took-Our-Jobs to come civil servants will come well before elected ministers.

"Hey ChatGPT, draft me a law which lets my chauffeur have a device to control traffic lights so I don't need to wait in traffic like the rest of the peasants!"

"Hey ChatGPT, draft me personalised letters for 50% of the civil servants in my department telling them that they're redundant!"

"Hey ChatGPT, specify and hire an increased personal security detail to make sure I'm not bothered by common people. The specification should be appropriate for funding from tax payer money!"

What was the strapline from The Fly?

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The UK government will trial large language models to help ministers analyze and draft documents as part of a push to overhaul public services using AI.

In a speech on Thursday, deputy prime minister Oliver Dowden called the technology a potential "silver bullet" to reduce the burden of routine admin tasks and make civil servants more productive.

More worryingly, perhaps, is Dowden’s idea of crime-prevention algorithms that could "direct police to where they are most needed" and "spot patterns of criminality to discover culprits quicker than ever."

"This is not about replacing real people with robots, it is about removing spirit-sapping, time-wasting admin and bureaucracy freeing public servants to do the important work that they do best and saving taxpayers billions of pounds in the process," Dowden claimed.

The UK government has hired data scientists, engineers, and machine learning experts for its Incubator for AI, dubbed i.AI, a group dedicated to exploring how the technology can improve public services.

i.AI is piloting ten different initiatives, including using algorithms to flag fraudulent transactions in pharmacies and moving asylum claimants out of hotels more efficiently.
