Ask HN: Who here would agree to replace parliaments with LLMs?

A Hacker News user argues against replacing parliaments with large language models, calling the idea stupid and dangerous. The user claims AI would lead to human elimination and advocates for technocracy instead of democracy, citing Japan's post-war economic model as a better system.

Dont. Its super stupid idea. I said it before but I will said it again. AI/LLM with current form is pure stupidty. Humans try to move their highest asset, aka Inteligence, analitical thinking, science into AI. Like fucking what? This is what made humans colonize entire planet. Not because they are strong and resistant spieces, but because they are inteligent and addaptive. If you want to offload that to AI, then humans arent really needed. Why would you need billions of consumers (paracities) that dont do anything usefull? Waste of fucking resources.

This is needed now, because it generates income to billionaries. Now focus. With current trend, when we replace workforce with automation and AI, humans are needed less and less. So billionaries can build they autonomic empires with AI/robots all around, no need to humans. Thats like dream for them, never ending fun, and no need to worry about billions of people to feed and keep them in check. Biggest loosers of this are all those scientists and engineers who are cutting branch they sit on... For suck a smart people, they are really stupid and shotsighted..

What is needed is technocracy. Democracy is a failure. How billions of consumers can elect someone smart? Not really possible. We need smart people to rule the system, not AI. If we put AI on charge, humans will be eliminated, because its just burden to the planet.

Interesting system existed in Japan, from 50s to 90s. A War Economy adapted to make consumers goods. It worked very well, to the point that US was pissed off because it couldnt compete. So they put smart plan to invert it. And they suceeded.

As much as we don't want a gerontocracy, the idea to replace parliaments with "LLMs" absolutely makes no sense.

It is not possible to solve social issues with technical solutions as there is always room to game the rules or hack them. Instead, this turns into a light-technocracy - ruled purely by technical experts or government by algorithm.

Who controls the LLM when it goes wrong or needs updating? Voting would likely cease to exist and it is still possible for corruption.

There are many separate technical issues with LLMs that I won't get into here, but there are better solutions to solve this issue such as introducing a fixed maximum age limit instead.
