Tbh, replacing our unhinged leadership with LLMs would probably make things a lot better in the near term, though not the mid or long term, as IME they tend to be way too cautious about things they shouldn’t be and way too confident about things they shouldn’t be.
In general, I agree with your conclusion. In this specific case with DOGE, I would argue otherwise.
Elon is overconfident about things he shouldn’t be (which is everything) and not cautious about anything. With a LLM being dumb as hell and confidently wrong, that’s actually not any worse than what we have now. If it somehow manages to be cautious about anything at all, it’s an honest to goodness improvement.
