There's an excellent little book in German called "KI und der Neue Faschismus" [1] (AI and the New Fascism) where the author (Rainer Mühlhoff) tries to warn about the dangers of decisions based on opaque statistical models (like LLMs) instead of a clear, human auditable decision process.

Isn't there an EU law that allows any EU citizen the right to transparency and/or appeal as to automated decisions made about them?
Yes, it's part of the GDPR (which really seems one of the most well-intentioned pieces of legislation once you read through it).
Yes, but it doesn't actually happen. It's basically impossible for an individual to enforce their GDPR rights.
