That is, there are various channels which governments provide to it&rsquo;s citizens - complaints, legal filings, Freedom of Information Requests, etc. Those channels are now starting to flood and saturate.</p> <p>This phenomenon hit Open Source Software (<a href="https://thenewstack.io/ai-generated-code-crisis/">thenewstack.io</a>) first.
