Excellent interview, thanks! I would say further that individuals are also using LLMs to actually help initiate the drafting of policy documents, not only double check or complement the text after something has been drafted by a human first. I don't necessarily see a problem with this as it realizes the human-in-the-loop approach, but if we use a single source, then this is a way of incorporating a specific reasoning model as a dominant view. Ideally, this would be done in a distributed approach by using multiple LLM models and having multiple humans revising the document. Doing this intentionally is a form of embracing the technology for what it is, instead of fearing it.
The Western world / developed world are in a position to create drafts and share them. But many under-developed and poor countries run by elites and dictators will probably not produce meaningful drafts. In fact they will actively resist such ideas. There are really TWO worlds on this Planet. A world for the developed countries where education levels are high and democracy exists. Then we have another world where education levels are low - extremely low and democracy exists in name only to serve the elites and the powerful. The recent regime change and farce elections in Pakistan, a country with 250 million people of which 60-70% fall in the uneducated class (in modern standards), is proof that money and power will be an obstacle to any checks and balances against a dystopian future in those nation.
