My field is lightly regulated but it is regulated and LLMs have helped massively in producing the documentation but also in reviewing the same documentation on the regulators side. This was always a disadvantage for small companies where the fixed regulatory cost couldn’t be amortized over a larger staff size and now because of LLMs it is less of a disadvantage.
I think we are living in a temporary window where the volume of bureaucracy hasn't caught up with token processing rates. In a few years it'll be increased, I'm sure.
I’m sure there will be attempts but I think our future will be dominated by separatist / spinoff societies. There is an economy of scale in functions of governance as well as a diseconomy of scale in bureaucracy. Using LLMs to make the expensive parts cheaper makes smaller self governing societies much more viable.
Then you have to deal with the combinatorial complexity of interactions between each splinter.
