We don't call it its own bureaucracy per se - but we do address (a) that our demands of/frustrations with transparency of AI and of government are similar, and (ii) that much like government action there is an often-confusing web of human decisions & intentions (the value chain) driving AI output.

If you become an AI Enabled Wizard and master the use of 14 different tools you may approach the cognitive capacity of any regular guy 15 years ago

Every system that relies on two-sided production and evaluation of text - hiring, academic journals, grant applications, education - is permanently broken

I work on AI and bureaucracy and find the same thing. The literature has a huge focus on delegation of "big" decisions and responsibilities. That misses that most work surrounding them, like this, is incredibly automatable (now). Seems clear to me that this will have far more impact far sooner

Self-satisfied is the perfect term. I've been describing it as "Wohlstandsverwaltung" - we organized our society to administrate wealth, to me based on the implicit assumption that our wealth-generating processes are eternal fountains
