| Polititian admits he used ChatGPT to generate new Law |

Politicians are like diapers; they’re changed regularly, and for the same reasons. |
| JPortici:
Something like that was already used here to STOP new laws, some politicians of the other side came up with a software in 2015 that takes the text of a law and spits out endless variants of the articles. Given they all need to be discussed, this usually tanks the law they don't want to be passed Also, most laws are almost gibberish so they can be as vague as possible and can be interpreted in so many ways, i'm not surprised that ChatGPT passed. It probably produced a more understandable output |

But the voting for many things (and not just for representatives) is there. I like the idea, but I also think it would be so easy to twist by various interest groups (who do twist politicians in our current systems, they would just do it more directly as democracy becomes more direct) that I'm not sure the end result would really be any better. I agree our current democracies are flawed, but I don't know exactly what we should do. Probably we should start growing up first, the rest would possibly follow. --- End quote --- Indeed :) I would like to think it would be much harder for a special interest group to sway the views of millions of people compared to just a handful in power, but reality is, it probably wouldn’t be :'( They could just run ads day in, day out on contentious issues to swing things in their favour. We might have to go after big media to fix that issue once we have fixed government :-DD |

According to the founders and US constution, the United States is NOT a "democracy" where 50.00001% of a vote can dictate to the other half. US IS A REPUBLIC! Jon |

US IS A REPUBLIC! Jon --- End quote --- A Republic can be a democracy in the modern sense of the word, (really, "Representative democracies) or a communist or fascist dictatorship, or almost anything else. Both Democracy & Republic just indicate that the country is governed by the people, as distinct from an absolute Monarchy. Neither specify how many members of the public, or which ones. Neither the Ancient Greek Democracy nor the Roman Republic would pass muster as democracies in the modern sense. More importantly, the USA is a Federation with all the inherent compromises that brings. |
