A literary glimpse of AI-native government: chatting with a .gov chatbot
KadriJibraan · x · 2026-10-01
A creative-writing thread imagining AI-native government: two observer-like figures watch a government chatbot handle a persistent citizen who files forms well and even reads the Code of Federal Regulations. Lines like "words make a wonderful interface... less terrifying than staring at the statute behind the screen" frame a tender, absurd take on how ordinary people will interact with government AI — echoing a pre-search era when filers were mistaken for witches.
