Is there really anyone who thinks this is a good idea? AI systems routinely spit out false information. Why would a system like that be anywhere near a Government?

Perhaps (optimistically) this is just a credibility-grab from Anthropic, with no basis in fact.

From the link,

> Government agencies can use Claude to provide improved citizen services, streamline document review and preparation, enhance policymaking with data-driven insights, and create realistic training scenarios. In the near future, AI could assist in disaster response coordination, enhance public health initiatives, or optimize energy grids for sustainability.

Yeah, I read it. That just says what they want to do, and nothing about why it's a good idea. You would have to have your brain plugged in upside-down to even consider using an LLM to "enhance policymaking".
