Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Second to them are the folks that sit on benches and machines and surf the web on their phones never actually doing anything.

I catch people staring at their phones DURING the set.

You cannot look away for 15 seconds?!

I don't get it. It's my only time 100% free from the phone lol

I just had a weirdly thrilling moment and no other place to share it, so ...

I received a legal ... paper ... this morning, and it didn't look right. As I was reading it, the cases all felt ... off. And then I hit a proposition where there was a case cited, and I thought, "WUT? There is no case in the history of ever that says that!"

So I checked. Case doesn't exist. Checked out cases. Out of the 20+ cases cited, only one actually exists (but didn't stand for the proposition for which it was cited).

Oh boy. Then I checked a citation to a statute. Hey! The statute exists! Except, it's quoting the statute, and nothing resembling that quote is in the statute.

That's right, after all this time ... I finally got my hands on someone fool enough to try and AI a legal filing.

This will end very badly. And I will take great joy in it.

I can't wait for the day to come when a contractor uses AI to write a submittal (or worse, a contract.) Oh man. It will end soooo badly.

I raise a glass to your future of flinging excrement at a rotary air distribution device.

So, this past week, my wife received what amounted to a Nigerian Prince spam... through regular US Mail.

It was a little different. It claimed there was a Dr. (for sake of this post) Smith, who had died, and left behind a life insurance policy for tens of millions of dollars, but had no known family. The money will soon revert to the state unless an heir is found...

The letter went on to say, in essence, "My research shows you have a name very similar to Smith. We can do business. I will give 10% of the money to charity, and we can split the other 90% evenly. I have all the paperwork to support your claim, if you just reach out to me..."

So, acknowledging the thing is shady as heck, but hey more than a million goes to charity, so that's good...

Someone paid postage to send that...

I don't know about a formal contract submittal, but people have already played games with contracts offered by AI chat bots.

AI went against an airlines refund policy and they had to accept it: Air Canada Has to Honor a Refund Policy Its Chatbot Made Up

But when AI offered a huge discount on a car, the didn't have to honor it: A Chevy for $1? Car dealer chatbots show perils of AI for customer service
