Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

That is why I called it a great start and not a finished product. I image there are a lot of legal cases to sift through and it is a lawyers job to at least keep track of the imporant ones (those which sets precedent), but knowing that there are multiple “lesser” rulings in your favour could be useful. And having a search enging that can find those based on a description of your current case? Not a bad idea to me.

Such databases have existed since basically the conception of common law, like a thousand fucking years ago. Good solutions exist and have existed without AI til today. It’s not a great start, it’s a running leap backwards off of a cliff into a trough of slop.

What's even the point in engaging in a discussion if you are going to dimiss anything related to AI out of hand?

I'm not talking about generating cases. I am talking about creating a software that can help you find cases matching your current case. You will get a list, look at it and keep any case what was of use. If the output is bad, the software is bad. Just like any search engine.

Did you even bother to read anything I wrote or did you just see the word "AI"? I'm done.

I agree, you are fucking done. good job showing up 12 days late to the thread expecting strangers to humor your weird fucking obsession with using LLMs for something existing software does better
