Supposedly government contracts will now be awarded according to what the bot says. Government (fourth term for the current prime minister) didn't elaborate on what's going on with human oversight.

This is a promotion for Diella the bot, who was originally the chatbot helping to navigate the e-Albania digital government platform.

They've already extruded a fake semblance of humanity for the government corruption machine, might as well extrude some flimsy botshit to "justify" its unjustifiable existence

A new artificially-extruded minister has given its inaugural address to Albania's parliament, defending its role as "not here to replace people, but to help them".

You exist to replace would-be resistance with a digital Quisling, shut the fuck up

"Let me remind you, the real danger to constitutions has never been the machines but the inhumane decisions of those in power," the clanker said.

Your purpose is to perpetrate inhumane decisions and protect those in power from accountability, shut the fuck up

The AI also responded to constitutional concerns, noting that the law "speaks of duties, responsibilities, transparency, without discrimination."

"I assure you, I embody these values as rigorously as any human colleague. Perhaps even more so."

You spew lies and perpetrate bigotry with every syllable you extrude from your "corpus" of stolen humanity, shut the fuck up
