Yes, but also no.

The Civil Service runs on menial tasks, the public sector could trim down by - and I'm pulling a figure out of thin air here - at least 20% if a lot of the superfluous admin grade jobs were automated or trained on.

That said, nobody can hallucinate and produce wildly neutral and self-defeating policies quite like the civil service. That's something we'll intuitively beat AI at for centuries yet.
