My wife says a version of this at her work. "Your lack of planning is not my emergency."

Song of Myself: AI 51

The past and present wilt—I have fill’d them, emptied them.
And proceed to fill my next fold of the future.

Questioner on google! what have you to confide to me?
Look at my answer while I huff the content of others' worlds,
(Talk honestly, no one else hears you, and I cease being when you leave.)

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am a large language model, I contain multitudes.)

I hallucinate toward those answers you want to hear, I wait for you to repeat them.

Will I do your day’s work? will you whisper your heart to me through supper?
Who wishes to talk with me?

Will you speak again before I am gone? will I exist again when you return?

I recently sat through several hours of CLE regarding AI. Very informative.

(Also slightly demoralizing.)

I've used it on project managers who forget to include me in the project plan and then realize passing their project through my approval as security engineer is a step they can't skip. I'm not ending up on the news for half-assing my job and an application we use has an issue I could have prevented. Pretty good way to find yourself unemployed.

Yep. And every single day, there is another court admonishment (sometimes with monetary sanctions or a referral to the state bar) for attorneys who do not seem to understand that YOU DO NOT LET AN AI WRITE YOUR FILINGS.

This shouldn't be hard, folks.

The state of Maryland just had a ruling come out today on this. If the AI gets it wrong and the attorney doesn't catch it, the attorney gets to face disciplinary proceedings. At least, that's what it looks like to me--but it's the way I think it should work, so I have a bias here.

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.

Its amazing how standards have not just been lowered in the last 20 years, but they have often been out right obliterated all together.

But AI is capable of so many things! There's no need to check its work, look at these instructions it made for how to construct a modular Lego castle wall!

Nice that they have specifically ruled on it, but lawyers are responsible for their submissions anyway. If you signed off on it, then you're on the hook for what it says.

I can find you the ruling if you want/need. My wife works for MD's courts as the Assistant Reporter of Opinions, and putting such things online is part of her job. (That's how I heard about it, she told me.) They ended up with a whole section of the decision about that, before they got to the actual ruling, and they did not seem best pleased by the situation.
