Considering that politicians are generally very late adopters, I would wager "interns".

The interns are likely using LLMs then.

LLMs tend to be very long-winded. One of my personal "tells" of an LLM-written blog post is that it's way too long relative to the actual information it contains.

So if the interns are getting multi-page walls of text from their constituents, I would not be surprised if they are asking LLMs to summarize.

  • You are exactly right. The only way to deal with the sheer volume of information generated by LLMs is to use LLMs to paraphrase.

    Recently at work a team produced some document that they asked for review on. They mentioned that they experimented with LLMs to write it (didnt specify to what extent). Then they suggested you could feed into an LLM to paraphrase to help review.

    So yeah. This is just the world we live in.

    rough details -> LLM -> product -> summarize with LLM -> feedback -> revisions -> finished product

    Where no single person or group knows what the finished writing product even is.
