Great, so you can be replaced by a computer. I'll remember that at the next election. And yes, I'm eligible to vote in your constituency.

"every request will be used to train it to make it better" So you're going to allow an AI company to use your constituents' personal stories (people WILL choose their own topics) in their training? What about this made it out of the pub? Your constituents shouldn't stop at a call: they should recall

AI isn’t nor will it ever be nimble minded or creative enough to replace a human. All it will ever do is collect data and spit it out. Unless that data is detrimental to the creator of the AI then they will tell it to avoid that data. And as we’ve seen it’ll do bad things, like become a Nazi.
