Something from my country, suprised they didn't get a promotion
Nice seeing an article from SA here :) unfortunately, this surprises none of us.
Why does this page want to know my precise location?
This is the tip of the iceberg. For example, the South African government included AI hallucinations in drafting its own AI policy: https://mybroadband.co.za/news/ai/644001-south-african-exper... . Imagine the AI slop in other documents including those that are classified, financial calculations etc.
I would be totally unsurprising if corrupt politicians in developing countries start using AI extensively for basic governance.
What will be interesting is to see who does a better job. Corrupt politician by themselves, or the AI they outsource their job to.

The entire world sells products to encourage you to do your work with AI assistance.
But god forbid that there should be any evidence of that in your .....work. You'll be suspended or fired.
Holy god, it looks like someone used AI and were a bit sloppy in their editing!!!! YOU'RE FIRED!
Maybe someday when there's been enough such reports people will shrug like they do about security breaches now.
If this happened in the US or Europe it would be an interesting story. In South Africa, this is just par for the course and the quality of the work may not have been any better had it been written by the current people staffing home affairs.
