I'm a bit concerned that a government chatbot like this would include a user-feedback signal like thumbs up/down. I think this could be gamed by bad actors to promote/demote specific types of content in the training data, assuming they use those signals in some sort of post training. Hopefully they're accounting for that.

... unless it doesn't really even do anything and is just a placebo.

You can combine it with a topic classifier and get the satisfaction rate for each topic. That's pretty useful for finding problem areas.
