>AI makes a lot of traditional social processes stop working properly.
Which is mostly a good thing because most of those processes were cooked up to be exclusionary but with plausible deniability
God forbid some upstart get a big contract they "shouldn't" have gotten because AI lets them create a submission that's on par with a big guys.
God forbid Joe Schmo be able to prepare the paperwork and dot his I's and cross his T's and be able to take advantage of some stupid zoning exemption that you spec'd out to essentially be only available to big moneyed interests.
The ability to suffer one's way through beurocratic process without having to suffer through paying the lawyers and accountants and engineers and whatnot to get you through that process is a huge part of the value proposition of AI. But people don't frame it like for obvious reasons.

These are adversarial processes. You might get a win in the short term, but everyone else is playing the same game with access to the same tools, and developing a game-breaking strategy in a PVP multiplayer game is going to both escalate and get patched out.
A colleague of mine gave the example of using AI to snipe the UK driving test queuing system, which currently has a massive backlog. Which is great .. for them. Someone else gets pushed down by automated sniping. Then everyone else will have to start sniping. Then the website falls over because it wasn't designed to deal with 100m requests from the few hundred thousand people who are trying to bot their way to victory.
(I can see one likely patch out of AI spam being "you must submit requests in person 9-5, online system is closed down"!)
