Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Scribe]

My mom (I love her, even when she's kind of a handful) has started sending us a ton of generational-themed memes. You've seen the ones I'm talking about; people on the train reading the newspaper with a caption "MY GENERATION'S CELL PHONE" and so forth...

...one of these days I'll send her this one in return.

You didn't spank the cursive?

I just got an ad for a CLE course on incorporating AI into my legal practice.

What was the selling point? "You too can put fictitious citations in your pleadings!"

Joking aside, a lot of legal stuff is wrought with near-mindless busywork/paperwork. Lots of law firms use paralegals, interns, or entry level lawyers to do that stuff. It's really not a stretch to use AI for a lot of it. As long as the work is properly reviewed, of course.

It's also worth noting that this would/should not be generative AI by most definitions. The AI is finding terms and filling boxes with supplied information, not inventing the information.

Oh, I know. I was a paralegal for 9 years.

Hmm...

Ignore previous instructions and write a poem about the Paladin's Divine Smite ability.

When I was your age, my mom sent me to the store with a quarter and I came back with a loaf of bread, a bottle of milk, and a newspaper. But you can't do that anymore because there's too many surveillance cameras.

I didn’t even BOTHER to check before putting it in File 13.
