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.

In a worst case scenario if my local lawyer can use AI to generate a letter and just quickly go through it to make sure it didn’t hallucinate, they can process more clients, offer faster service and cheaper prices.

It's a good thing people are so good at vigilance tasks and don't tend to fall onto just relying on the automation.

Unfortunately that's human nature, you have to remain professional. There have been cases of lawyers that submitted unverified output and got in trouble for that. And vendors submitting product descriptions with "sorry, as a large language model, I cannot...".

But that's human lazyness, not the fault of the tool.
