Cat Moon 😺 likes to say she “lives in the I live in the open mindedness of not knowing enough about anything.”
I dunno. She knows just about everything we need to know about one topic:
“Every single instance of an attorney filing something in court that cites a fake case generated by AI is solved by one single ethical obligation we have.”
Her advice tracks my Feb. 1 post:
Follow two rules:
- Never rely on anything AI tells you about crucial issues.
- Always ask AI for advice on crucial issues.
AI does not merely save time. It can make your work product better. The time to get these benefits is now.
At the same time, safety matters. Conceptualizing AI as a sort of super research assistant can help. Wouldn’t you always verify any research assistant work product before using it for anything crucial? You don’t want your memo to be a Shakespearean sonnet about the existential angst of a CPA.
