Banning it won't work. The Dáil publishes thousands of pages of debates and votes nobody has time to read. AI that summarises them gets citizens closer to their TDs. Regulate the misuse, keep the tool.

"Unnecessary" is hard to say about a tool that turns 10,000 pages of Oireachtas records into a 2-minute email anyone can read. Ban the abuse, not the technology.

@BrianOToole8 @rtenews a fair bit of it happens outside the chamber: committee hearings, parliamentary questions answered in writing each sitting week, and every dáil vote recorded by name on the oireachtas record. wednesday's sittings are off over the staff strike, with votes moved to tuesday

[DailDex @DailDex]
