Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Not just you. If anything, I think that the sanctions should be much harsher.

There is no excuse at all for submitting an AI-written filing to the Court. None. Nada. Zero. And the idea that an attorney would sign their name to a filing ... that was written by an AI is bad enough, but that an attorney would do that without even checking the case citations that the AI was using?

I can't even. Personally, I think a suspension (30 day minimum) and remedial CLEs is warranted for a first offense.

In the CLE courses, more than one lecturer made the analogy that you should handle the AI as if it were a legal assistant. IOW, you should review EVERYTHING as if it were done by someone not fully trained in the law. If you don’t, you’ve failed your duty to supervise.

And that’s sanctionable. As in the Bar could discipline you or you could be sued for malpractice.

I've had to attend (checks calendar) three different training sessions so far about AI, and how to use it responsibly within our company. The highlights are:
(1) we cannot use ChatGPT (our IT has blocked it, along with several others),
(2) we are only allowed to use the company's own AI tools, that were trained on our own company's data, and
(3) you are always responsible for anything with your name on it.

Coming here less often doesn't work. In fact, it's worst because I'm hit by all the shiny news books I would like to purchase at the same time instead of one per day or so!

That sounds a lot like what I heard in the lectures.

The unspoken take-away, of course, is "...and since you are ultimately going to be held responsible, you should be very careful indeed with the tools you choose, and how far you trust them."

There's a professionalism aspect to it, also. If a colleague tells me they used AI to help them write a report, or refine a pipe network or whatever, I'm not going to think of them as a tech genius who values efficiency, for example. Maybe that's something I should work on.

Or maybe not, because our clients seem to have a similar opinion.

Welp, I went down the rabbit hole that is Qualified Energy Efficiency Improvements on the irs.gov website and now I will being having a conversation with the accountant so that IRS Form 5695 is a part of my mom's taxes for 2025. Let's see if I was able to suss out that the insulation we put in at the apartments is indeed a Fixed-Asset (Capital Improvement). It had better be since it was a material amount of US $ in and of itself.

It is good to see my second degree in accounting is paying off.
