Why would it be effective? If it only deals in language, but not an understanding of human issues, economies et al, it would be ineffective and inappropriate.

> it will turn into a contest of which side of an issue can spam the Senator's office harder
An LLM wouldn't even be required for analysing sentiment and recurring topics, this is how a lot of brands have handled millions of inbound tweets all these years.
To imply that a senator is just the political equivalent of a customer service agent is disingenuous when they themselves draft and propose legislation et al, and that legislation hopefully comes from a nuanced understanding of what it is that they're targeting, which an LLM wouldn't have.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoI don't want an LLM writing legislation. That way lies disaster. (And that disaster is uncomfortably likely to happen within 10 years...) But I'm cynical enough to think that training an LLM on constituents' comments, and then having it write a senator's speeches, could be effective. The speeches would lack specifics, but the tone would echo the constituents' concerns. That might be good enough to get re-elected. (As I said, I'm cynical. It shows up in me thinking that fine-sounding speeches are likely enough to get a senator re-elected.)
