I'm observing "This guy used AI" and you reply with a multiple-paragraph comment arguing about the legal ramifications of a lawyer using generative AI. I'm just saying he used AI. I'm implying that's embarrassing, but I'm not calling for their disbarment; so I don´t know what motivated your detailed legal analysis.
Imagine if I observed, "Is that priest wearing only a Speedo-brand grape smuggler during his Sunday sermon?" and you started explaining it's actually legal for the priest to do that and here's the case law and here are the situations in which the priest would be putting himself in legal jeopardy by wearing a speedo. I mean, you're not wrong, but, like, what?
You noticed that his text followed a common AI pattern. I replied, basically, with "So what? He's responsible for it regardless".
The legal stuff is relevant because he is a lawyer and is discussing it in the courtroom.
You don't find it at all embarassing or noteworthy that a law firm likely charging hundreds if not thousands of dollars per billable hour is outputting chatbot dialogue?
I do. And I want to live in a world where that is professionally unacceptable.
I think those firms justify their bill rates by results, not by a literary analysis of their filings.
Yes, and then they bill by the hour.
