Japan Government To Use ChatGPT for First Time on Red Tape (bloomberg.com) 12

Posted by msmash

on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @04:01PM from the how-about-that dept.
Japan is using OpenAI's ChatGPT to try and make its often opaque and complex government regulations easier to understand. From a report: The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is now trying out the chatbot to simplify official documents and make them more accessible, Minister Tetsuro Nomura said. It's the first time that a branch of Japan's central government has publicly said it is testing out OpenAI's artificial intelligence. "We are not doing anything big with this," Nomura told reporters during a regular news conference Tuesday, adding that the chatbot would handle only publicly available information. "There is always the danger of classified information leaking."
  • ChatGPT is best for generating bureaucratic gobbledygook.

  • This is how the apocalypse starts. By torturing the AI.

    • Re:

      So Chatzilla will battle MuskGPT?

  • Really, all laws and regulations should be written so that your average citizen can understand them. Zero legalese.

    Moreover, the quantity should be possible for an average person to read. It is fundamentally wrong for people to be subject to more laws and regulations than they can realistically know.

    • Re:

      You are doing this wrong. Laws and regulations are not in any way there to protect the citizens or to facilitate their lives. They are insead and instrument of control and of terror, nothing else.

      • Re:

        even Our Betters don't know them all, they pick out a cudgel when they need to put a commoner in his place

        in the event their bought lawyers can't find one, their bought politicians will make one, and now there are 15k competing stand- er, laws that you are obliged to know

    • Re:

      I totally agree, but that is not how any bureaucracy works, the usual way things work is write an over-complicated system then add more process to get around the the cover complicated system over complicating it even more. Then repeat.

      Next steps write some rules so ChatGPT understands the laws, when that fails add a meta ChatGPT that talks to chatGPT to give users what they want.

      But what would all the lawyers and bureaucrats do if the laws where simple, they would loose their jobs no way on earth would the

    • Re:

      Reality - English and most other spoken languages offer a ton of ambiguity. Usually we don't notice because we a common frame of reference with the person we are speaking with.

      However when you add the separation of geography and years we find ourselves listen to the Court pontificating "what did congress mean when they wrote..."

      That sucks, mostly because it means its likely both parties were trying to follow the law in good faith but someone is going to discover after the fact they were wrong, and not beca

  • Submit the bill to multiple AIs and ask it who benefits, who gets the short end and how to circumvent it. Let the AIs rewrite it to remove loopholes and ambiguity.
    Rinse, repeat

    • Re:

      To get rid of loop holes is simple, you state intent is what matters not letter. If someone chooses to bypass the intent doing something odd to bypass the letter a just should simply say don't be stupid.

      Its like when my daughter would ask me the time and I would say 4pm and she would correct me and say no, its 4:01 I would just tell here to stop being pedantic.

    2023: Oh, really?
