Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency are attempting to enact what some experts have called the “largest job cut in American history“—but don’t worry, these geniuses have a solution to pick up the significant amount of slack caused by letting go of tens of thousands of domain experts and civil servants all at once: a chatbot.
According to Wired, DOGE has given about 1,500 employees at the US General Services Administration, the agency that manages federal real estate and oversees most government contracts, access to a proprietary chatbot called GSAi.
That’s if you were trying to match AI to the tasks it’s somewhat suited for. That implies logic. DOGE has done little to suggest they think that deeply about anything. They’re in there replacing the legal team with a chatbot
I’m sorry. I didn’t want to make it sound as if I think they are competent. I really do not.
