    I work in the civil service and there’s this sense that we have to try using gen AI because central government is pushing it as the solution to unlocking productivity and saving the UK economy, even if it’s not suitable for our jobs. Of course I ignore it as much as possible, but I have no doubt that some colleagues will outsource their thinking to the computer and end up in situations like this.

      Such a view is stupid. If people thought they’d needed to use Gen AI and they had permission for various tools, they’d use it.

    Great, LLMs judging humans.
    Glad the judge caught it!

    I wonder which government’s Home Office did this: Sunak or Starmer? Both big AI fans, it seemed.
