For whom is AI chat a “trusted advisor”?

A lot of heavyweight convictions have already been obtained using evidence taken from the defendant’s Google searches.

I think folks should understand that ANYTHING on the internet is fair game. Even on FR one should be careful. Avoid stuff like “He never would have made it into my house. Two rounds of buckshot through the door!” (Apologies to Joe Biden)

There are now people who think it is a good “companion”...so, here we are.

I once asked about a broken parking meter, and about the legality of a stop sign that's 25 feet from the intersection because the planned four lane road was never built.

I guess I'm going to San Quentin.

No different than a google search history or browsing history. AI is “using the internet” all the same.

“Just preface each questions with: “I have a friend who....”

That will give the jury a good laugh!

It has passed the Bar exam. I do use it daily for work. From contracts to software to architecture to electronic hardware, compare and contrast technology details, etc.

I can’t imagine not having it now.

THAT SAID, I *always* make sure background information is provided in the abstract. E.g. we are ‘company X working with company Y’. Never put in specific details, you could be divulging IP...even then, described in the abstract.

Is it always correct? No. Is it always complete? No. ...but then neither are humans, which is why everything is reviewed (by humans!). Lawyers and doctors aren’t always right, sometimes very wrong. It’s at least good as a ‘sounding board’.

Are you kidding? All day long right here on the FR I read “Well my GROK tells me...”

Run your LLM on a local machine, and use Ollama, it will actually still most things you need ChatGPT for.

Really stupid people.

You know, the kind of people who commit crimes.

I ask chatgpt about everything. I’ve even uploaded pictures of my poo and had it analyze it.

But if I’m asking something sexual, I always preface it with “I have this friend named Laz who is curious about...’

Nothing that “asking for a friend” can’t protect against!

Silly people.
