Spent many (many!) hours pulling legal explanations and apologies from lawyers who were caught using AI that hallucinated in which they explained to a judge why they used AI. The explanations are astonishing and extremely good:

@jasonkoebler @neil and we never hear about the millions of success stories where people used LLMs for the same reasons, without issues, validating factual information, and were as a result more productive.

it's fairly easy to point out people who don't understand the tech they use, because they tend to fail, and the media calls those people failures instead of overworked underpaid and under-trained. the media loves blathering on about negative news and failures, not successful people who move through life eloquently.

maybe stop listening to the corporate interests pushing this narrative — they are the core organizations who have the most to lose in the current economic structure. the one which relies on profiteering from the inefficiencies of the masses. Ai helps people when those people know how to use it as the set of advanced tools which it offers, especially disabled people (but we never hear about that being important).
