Right, but these jobs are inefficient mostly because of checks and balances. So unless you have a bunch of AIs checking one another's work (and I'm not sure I can see that getting signed off) doesn't it just move the problem slightly along the road?
There's an argument here something like.. if you can replace each role with an AI, you can replace multiple with a single AI, why not replace the structure with a single person?
And the answer is typically that someone has deemed it significant and necessary that decision-making in this scenario be distributed.
Yup. If we ignore all the ‘people’ issues (like fraud, embezzlement, gaming-the-system, incompetence when inputting data, weird edge cases people invent, staff in other departments who are incompetent, corruption, etc), most bureaucracies would boil down to a web form and a few scripts, and probably one database.
Better hope that coder doesn’t decide to just take all the money and run to a non extradition jurisdiction though, or the credentials to that DB get leaked.
Just look at names. Firstname, lastname? Jejeje, no.
Treating them as constants? laughs in married woman.
If you can absolutely, 100% cast iron guarantee that one identity field exactly identifies one living person (never more, never less), these problems are trivial.
If not? Then its complexity might be beyond the grasp of the average DOGE agent (who, coincidentally, are males in their early 20s with names conforming to a basic Anglo schema).
