I too, like everyone one else, often hate the tedious and often absurd, effort that bureaucratic procedures sometimes require, but this story doesn't make any sense to me.

We're talking about a guy who's used AI to make personalized ground-breaking medicine for his dog but says he spent three months typing a 100-pages long document for the red tape. In reality, current AI technology isn't particularly designed to help you making radical medical breakthrough on its own (at least yet), but is extremely proficient when comes to writing text that must just check boxes.

I'm sorry but how does that story not smells like complete bullshit to anyone reading this? Given that the guy telling his story is “an AI entrepreneur”, I'm almost 100% sure that the story is almost entirely made up for self-promotion.

Because it strokes the anti-establishment anti-intellectual and anti-bureaucracy zones all at once, and a lot of nerds (with love) are contrarians. Us software guys like nothing better than a story about how a smart ass with a computer undid a problem seemingly created by institutions out of whole cloth.

I'm calling absolute 100% bullshit.
