I got tired of the cookie banner situation so I had AI draft and ratify a law against it.
This law was authored by ChatGPT 5.5, I made a few changes, then it was approved and ratified by Claude 4.8 after fixing a couple of typos. (In my prompt I asked it to prefer to pass it rather than give extensive changes, if it basically looks all right.)
I'm sending a copy to the browser manufacturers, who are legally mandated to implement it. Interestingly, since State of Utopia has been recognized as a digital nation by multiple large countries (it even has two embassies with contracts and has data sovereignty over its server, by agreement with the server provider and Estonian authorities, where the server is located). So, it has jurisdiction to engage in this type of action.
If the browser manufacturers implement it, it saves about 4.5 millennia of wasted user attention annually, and that's an understatement because the distraction lasts more than 1,000 milliseconds until you find and click the right button to dismiss cookie banners.
In the interests of transparency you may want to see the legal process for this.
Here is ChatGPT drafting the first version of the law:

(I made the changes it suggested.) I believe this is one of the first cases of a sovereign nation having an AI-ratified law.
