I going to respectfully disagree (at least is part). So, small town officials that are (as far as I know) still sometimes serving in volunteer positions it can be difficult to wade through paperwork and minutia of bureaucracy[1]. There are still towns with hundred of residents (not thousands). It should always fall on a competent human to vet things but really I would think any help is welcome. However care should (but will not) always be taken. It is true of AI, hiring a contractor, or relying on help already in the office.
[1] I have waded through some of the paperwork myself and it can be mind numbing for the uninitiated.
Both the contractor and the help already in the office can think and understand the reason why the minutiae exists. Nothing whatsoever about current AI should encourage anyone to use it in a governmental scope of any size… down that path is madness.
