21. Could we replace all our politicians with AI?
Mon Feb 23, 2026, 01:32 PM
Monday

We could, simply tell our rAIpresentative.We want smaller less noticeable government, or larger protective government, or more bang For my buck government.

AI could make a composite representative to argue with everyone else's composite representative. It could then write up the results along with three bullet points. Tell us how very good we were to participate.

And we can all go on our merry way.Trying to figure out what we 're doing on this little planet in the middle of a galaxy, somewhere in a universe.

Just like we're doing right now.
