One of the interesting use-cases for LLMs is to find potential inconsistencies (across many sources), brainstorm abuse vectors & potential legal challenges, and then rewrite natural (including legal) language in a less ambiguous way. If this process were guided and vetted by talented lawmakers, it could be quite a useful tool, and is probably already used that way in many quarters.

The current executive will almost certainly abuse it and come up with hilariously bad proposals, vetted only by a marketing team, which will be ridiculed for years to come. Popcorn time.
