I threw some legitimate questions at it today and got helpful answers in response.

Someone mentioned a comparison to Obama's healthcare.gov rollout; that site had a 1% success rate during the first week it went live so it's safe to assume there have been some lessons learned since then.

Was OpenAI available at that time? No, bad comparison bot.

>it's safe to assume there have been some lessons learned since then.

The main lesson learned was that it was ineffective to rely entirely on outsourcing. The government needs top-notch engineering talent in-house. This led to the creation of the United States Digital Service (USDS), a fantastic group of people which did some of the best web design and engineering on the planet.

Trump killed them, of course, and the website is now entitled "United States DOGE Service". I hope that, some day, I will no longer be embarrassed to be an American.

		afaik https://ndstudio.gov/ (and GSA?) are now the ones responsible for such in-house engineering?
