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.

“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!”
