Lazy, huh? I have done several posts here on SW that were created by AI. What I noticed is that EVERY point was cited, and I was able to open each cited article and read it in full. Unfortunately, many, many times, the cited point was Wikipedia...which can be written by absolutely anyone...AND corrected by absolutely anyone. I know, because I found a historical error once a long time ago, and corrected it.

My sons girlfriend refuses to use it because their are too many people at her work, that are relying on it to do all their thinking for them.

It's a double-edged sword. It's very useful as a broad spectrum fast search engine. In summarizing what those links can provide.
It's another thing altogether to have it do the work for you considering it's known to be prone to so many errors and conflictions of data.
I think other than having a fast tool to locate similar cases and identify them for you, that's where it should completely stop. It can locate them in a matter of seconds. However, it should be up to you to put the actual cases in your hands and verify them.
The flaws within its algorithms have been proven already. The meat heads that run big tech keep pushing this and doubling down on it with these big ass data centers thinking it will improve when it won't.

@Gibbon of course they will. That’s a problem here where I live in this city. But there are American professors who have been doing it for decades as well, indoctrinating them at every turn.

@cherokeepatti This really started with the creation of the Department of Education which started operations eight years after I graduated high school. The schools were fine and didn't need them. Thank you very much Jimmy Carter. And it doesn't matter which party the secretary is in. It swings both ways. What matters is this.
The career civil-service staff. They are over 70% registered Democrats.
The distinction matters because it's the career staff who draft the guidance documents, run the compliance offices, and implement policy day-to-day — not the Secretary.
It's a concentrated effort.
The DOE needs to be done away with.

Lawyers have been caught citing cases that did not exist, because their court briefs were written by AI and humans did not check them over. (AI included fictional court cases found in works of fiction posted on the web.)
But if a judge, or anyone else, is using AI merely as a search engine, and the cases are all real, I see nothing wrong with that. It seems like a legitimate use of AI to me.

@DrWatson “And if the cases are all real…” is the sticking point.
@DrWatson :) didn't one of the lawyers in the OJ Simpson trial quote from a Disney movie? And wasn't HRC's challenge of a witness when she help spring the child rapist more about a bad judge than about her great lawyering skills?
Since human lawyers have been known to create fictitious evidence, it's probably where AI finds those lies and they simply parrot them because they weren't challenged in court. It would be refreshing if AI were to call attention to what should have never sneaked past being challenged.

@cherokeepatti If so, then there is probably more to the story than what you have summarized.

I’ve seen several stories like this. The others were lawyers, not judges, but still…
It makes you realize how thoroughly technology changes culture, and not only in gif ways. Good ways. (I typoed good and Autcorrect replaced my error with gif, which only illustrates the point.)

@Mamapolo2016 This was an ongoing 3 year court case. It wouldn’t have been used 3 years ago. And that mother had likely paid out a huge amount of money for legal help with the case. Seems like a slap in the face to her and to the children to try to resolve a case this way.

@cherokeepatti To me, it’s more important that “it’s AI” is a stamp of approval. By the already flawed and shaky legal system.
Absolutely. Without referencing the where or who, city officials I know experimented with AI for writing city ordinances and the one AI wrote was supposedly pretty impressive. The impressive part was that AI was more aware of what other cities did and was more precise in the use of the English language.

I'd estimate that the majority of them plagiarize, AI just makes it easier...
innovation has been pretty stagnant the last 20-30 years, technology hasn't progressed as much as it did between 40's and 80's

I think AI is a good tool but shouldn't be relied on 100%.
The problem with researching stuff on the web is that everything is "AI", save for what the dumb4sses on Reddit post.
