AI’s are not great at generalised efforts just yet. I bet that if they feed all the texts from the confederation to a program developed internally, it would do a better job than Deepl, which IMO it is already great. But probably it is failing to interpret formal tones used in political and legal texts. Any opinions?

  1. Sure, let’s depend on machine translated legal texts, great idea

  2. Gouvernement + IT projects = big money waste adding more complexity for what was a simple task.

  3. Are you willing to pay more taxes for this? Or do you expect others to pay it for you?

  4. Quite sure ChatGPT, Gemini etc. have already learned from all publicly available information. So that’s basically already there. Sure, you can also add more internal data if needed. Not a big deal.

  5. The checks and balances AI would require are more costly and bothersome than just continuing what we are doing already.

    Not to mention how the accuracy, even if human verified, is dubious at best

  6. Good idea bud, oh look 2019 is calling:
