Governments worldwide see surges in complaints and requests since ChatGPT adoption. UK employment tribunal cases rose 39% in a year from AI-drafted claims. Courts face waves of AI-built cases that often lack coherence. Public bodies receive AI-generated freedom of information requests in high volumes. MPs’ offices are swamped by AI-generated constituent letters. Public consultations risk becoming useless due to AI-generated spam. AI tools to detect or sift this slop may not work for vulnerable humans. Employers using AI to sift job applications face automated responses from applicants. Agentic AI adoption could worsen these bottlenecks. Historical solutions like spam filters may eventually mitigate the issue.
