AI agents are flooding government services, rewriting citizen-state dynamics

Andrew Sanwal flags that government services are being flooded by AI-generated requests, complaints, and applications. AI helping citizens navigate bureaucratic friction is good, but systems built for human-paced inbound will be stressed, and GovTech tools for automated responses are likely emerging. SuB8u adds that the physical/institutional world was designed for humans with inertia and finite patience — humans plus AI agents break that mould, giving ordinary users an asymmetric advantage and reshaping citizen-government expectations.
