    So, I just read "OpenAI, Microsoft, and Alphabet CEOs to discuss AI with Biden administration today" which I consider hilarious. Now, I cannot speak to how people in other countries perceive their federal/state/local governments, but here in the US, there are a few that despise the catatonic or epileptic fits our federal government goes through. Years ago, I read an article about how the IRS has been trying for 4 decades to re-do the master control program that "implements" the US tax code. And I had an evil thought :) Drop the entire US tax code into ChatGPT or whatever the heck you do. According to the link below, the base tax code is 2600 pages. You then have to add all of the rulings and everything else that adjusts, modifies and clarifies Congress' intent. Once input, ask the AI to clarify :) As that famous quote from Jaws "you're gonna need a bigger boat".... Interesting thought.

      A brilliant test case for these LLL AI systems! If the US tax code doesn't break one, it should be possible to enhance it with a plug-in that detects loopholes and contradictions. It will earn a seven-figure salary as a consultant for tax accountants and lawyers. :laugh:

        It would either go catatonic or become the feared singularity.

          If we put it in a sandbox ... :). I was thinking it might just delete itself.

            One major oversight on your part…. Once ingested, the bureaucratic hacks could then use it to “generate” more tax code gobbledygook at the speed of light. The Prompt Engineer Union would gain perpetual employment.

              2600 pages is a fundamental flaw in our tax code. I think dropping this entire code into something like ChatGPT to find all the contradictions and flaws would be a great use of this system. Or better yet, Congress can just do their bloody job and scrap the current code, which by the way violates Amendment 14's equal protection clause because it treats different people differently for tax purposes.

                "One major oversight on your part…." no no not really. I wasn't trying to solve a problem with my post - It was a flash of a brainfart - sort of hold my beer. but I just want to see what comes out :)
