Maybe Congress Could Write Their Own Bills

Politico reports: "AI slop is swamping a House office that drafts US laws." The problem:

    Congressional lawyers are struggling to manage a flood of legislative proposals generated using artificial intelligence tools, many of them riddled with errors and shoddy language.

    The strain on the House Office of Legislative Counsel is increasing as more congressional offices and outside groups rely on generative AI to draft legislation, according to interviews with eight current and former officials who work or have worked with the office.

    They said AI’s ability to quickly generate mountains of text is forcing the OLC’s lawyers to spend significantly more time reviewing and rewriting the proposals. And in many cases, the drafts are plagued by mistakes that could ripple well beyond Washington — tying up the passage of legislation and risking lawsuits over erroneously cited statutes or incorrect legal definitions. 

The real solution would be to require the elected Representatives and Senators to personally handwrite all bills that they submit for consideration.

  1. Too many words. Too much legalize. Too many laws. Too much government. Too much corruption. Too much.

    1. Thus, my solution. They have to personally write the proposed bills out by hand.
