Honestly, why do you think it is dumb?

I think it is pretty well established that LLMs can be a great time saver when used appropriately. Why wouldn’t you want that productivity gain at the government level?


Reading and writing reports when peoples lives are on the line is arguably a hot topic, no?

One would imagine that a $200m contract would come with at least some minimal amounts of guidance on best practices. The DoD is not a spring chicken with it comes to automation. They’ve been a perennial early adopter.

LLMs enable amplified automation. Example: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.13.25329541v...

At my company, we use LLMs for financial analysis that previously required hundreds of employees, and that work would have been inferior anyway because it's so hard to make so many people to communicate well to identify correlations.
