The thing you've outlined sounds to me like news media, sort of, as well as implicitly leaning on existing news media. The amount of information entailed is comparable; having up-to-date info on over 3000 United States counties is a far from trivial endeavor.[1]
It's different of course in that existing news media isn't remotely incentivized to support this kind of work, instead being caught in the tar pit of getting eyeballs and ad dollars, as well as being an arena which monied interests know they need to optimize for. Of course if the tool you're describing became well-known, it would also become subject to competitive pressures from without.
And in practice, the number of people who would get value from it is probably not all that much different from the number of people who already are already immersed in activism. You get marginal gains from more efficient allocation of some of the ones who are just kind of being pulled along by their social networks.
Could a GPT-X in principle maybe help scrape through every local paper, every town council pdf, and output useful insight that current activist communities don't already have access to if they're sufficiently motivated? I think eventually yes, but by the time AI is that powerful there might be more important things to worry about.
If you want to offer info at the town level, it gets even worse. There are nearly 20,000 incorporated towns cities and villages, although 3/4s are under 5k population.
This would likely need to be a tool for local organizing that contains manuals. most of the information on the tool will be out of date and there needs to be a clear process for how to make it up to date, despite that people who potentially disagree with each other strongly would be updating it. AI could be included in the tool to help update it, but AI couldn't be the final authority at this time.
some references for content I'd suggest including, at least by reference - I make absolutely no attempt to be neutral in my recommendations:
some bonus resources I think are relevant to effective organizing - note that you don't have to completely agree with these resources to learn from them and produce worlds that are better in subsets of the ways the authors intend:
some more non-electoral resources I've encountered recently but which I'm not sure are good-according-to-me yet, and I link anyway because they seem promising based on initial assessment and how I discovered them:
https://github.com/StampyAI/stampy-ui looks like an interesting tool to use on something like this
For politics and governance in the US, does there exist a tool that:
If this tool doesn't exist, how much value would people get from it if it existed? How difficult would it be to implement each part? (please point me to any tools / organizations that roughly fulfill the duties outlined in the bullet points)
Lastly, w.r.t. the point
I think GPT-X might work well for summarizing and distilling legal language - has this been done already?
