Playing With Ai

[civilsmoker]

The appellate "specialist" at a local DA's Office just got her ass handed to her by the State Supreme Court. She filed a brief and the Chief Justice called her out for citing at least 5 cases that do not even exist in her brief, and other cases that do not mean what the brief said, along with direct quotes that also did not exist in case law.

It turned out she used A.I. to write the brief and apparently never bothered to check the cites the "genius" software came up with (literally out of thin air and bull-shitium). Her boss has been in the hot seat all over the news since then.

I presume the assistant will be disbarred and loose her job. Brings every case she has ever prosecuted into question, not to mention the questions of was she the only one?

A.I. "may" be fun to play with but people need to not accept on faith it is accurate and has your best interest in mind. With a photo, it's easy to see "nope not what I wanted" and tweak the instructions. With other stuff, not so easy and requires human thought to determine if it is correct.

It the wild, A.I. has proven it will make stuff up and has no eye to blink or not a single care to give.....

Here is a link to a news story on the Georgia case I'm talking about. Has video of the Chief Justice calling out the prosecutor for making it all up.... This was on a murder appeal which is about as serious at it ever gets.

I saw that headline....crazy. One of the reasons my daughter did a pilot AI assignment is because 1/2 of the class got a zero on their first project for the very same reason as above, ie bogus citations.....She had warned the students prior but they didn't believe AI made stuff up.....well that was a lesson learned the hard way..... I pretty much write for a living as an engineer and AI writing doesn't win work..... so if the new writers want to use it....well I'm ok with that because that's just more work for my team!

Not a fan of AI… can it be a useful tool… maybe?! But NOT a fan of AI taking over our essentials.

Photo edits or biz creation labels… great! But it has created… some very negative impacts.

It takes someone’s job and livelihood! And does so daily!

I know Justin… he and his wife are hard working folks. Bust their ass to make a living and support their fam.

Then after he says AI cost them his wife’s job… zero compassion?! You talk about some grill…

Wait till AI bites you in the ass… then let me see another LOL!!!

AI affects real people…. real people lose jobs due to that crap!

I have not been on the forum much lately due to truly hard work both personal reasons and my job that averages 40-50 hours a week depending… sometimes 60-80…

Nothing wrong with hard work… it builds the work ethic, confidence and self worth of a person. You might get a blister… builds character!

Keep your AI…

I can smoke my own food, drive my own car… and mowing the lawn… grew up doing that.
The smell reminds me of mowing with my Grandpa years ago.

Hey I did not invent Ai and I did not say it was the all mighty and next slice bread. All I said it does some amazing things. World powers around the world are fighting to be first to use it to their advantage. Do I agree with that, I really do not give a damn. I'm 69 years old and still trying to figure out how to set the clock on my VCR.
Don't attack me just because you hate Ai.

The employment landscape will never be the same. I'm sorry for anyone losing their job as a result of it. I fully expect it to cost me my job. I draw shop drawings for a metal fabricator (I'm a retired metal fabricator myself) and I can see programs in the future that my bosses will be able to simply talk to them and the program will draw anything they need. I'm just hoping to make it to social security before that happens and that social security, and the dollar itself doesn't collapse.

I dont use active AI yet, but I love it's addition to search engines. Saves a lot of time because web site articles seldom answer what is often just a direct question I'm looking for a quick answer for, in the search results. So you have to click and open them, and sometimes read a bunch of crap you weren't looking for to get to the answer...if the answer is even on the page. Yes, that affects the livelihood of those publishing stuff on web pages. I'm sorry, but times have changed and I want answers fast.

Tech has been replacing men in the shop I work for, for years. Part of that is nobody is raising sheet metal and other metal mechanics anymore. It's hard to find skilled people who actually want to work. So they invested in machines with computers to do what mechanics used to do. What cant be replaced in most cases is human welders. Sure automobile plants and plants that make the same widget over and over can set up automated welding, but we are custom. Our welders may be assembling a stainless kitchen counter one day, and putting together a handrail the next.

Plumbers, electricians etc. are also going to be very hard to replace with AI. Too bad so many people told their kids college is the best answer, and it is for some professions, but a lot of college graduates are on the AI chopping block now and it's happening quickly.
