Politicians hoping AI can fix Australia’s housing crisis are risking another Robodebt

Have they tried increasing demand while keeping supply the same? I’ve heard it is the solution to the housing crisis.

We are all fucked if the politicians and/or civil service starts using AI for policy creation or implementation.

The bullshit one of them confidently spewed me the other day about basic Sydney facts was mind-boggling and dangerously wrong. Edit: To be clear, that was an AI I was talking about, but somehow that sentence can be applied to most politicians too.

The idea of "AI solving" some social crisis is a farce. The problem isn't that we don't know what policies will improve the situation. An AI program or a simulation doesn't have the political power necessary to solve any of these problems.

Polticians: this AI will tell us how to solve our housing woes!
AI: Abolish negativ..
Polticians: slams lid shut I guess it’s not quite production-ready yet

The only use for AI I can see is a self propagating worm that will respond to every politician's attempt to use AI with slapping the everloving shit out of them
