Imllementing direct democracy is vastly simpler than implementing a LLM. It’s called sortition. Randomly select people to form the legislature instead using elections. Random people are a better direct, descriptive representation of the public. Voila, it’s not actually direct democracy, just like relying on LLMs is not actually direct democracy, yet it’s vastly more simple to implement.
Like with any agent, whether AI or random or elected, all agents will suffer from principle -agent problems and problems of corruption.
I agree with this statement iff you sample enough people. 1000 people may be a good representative of 1 billion. Picking 1 leader out of the 1000 has different properties compared to if all 1000 got to vote for a consensus.
