My thought is they should have named ChatGPT “First Drafts.” If you know how to do something, ChatGPT lets you do it faster and sometimes better.

AI hallucinations can be more convincing than the original. I asked Bing to read the 1885 book "100 Proofs the Earth is Not a Globe" & give examples of rhetorical techniques. It gave awesome quotes of flat earth arguments that seemed very 1885, but none of them were in the book!

I keep finding things that AI can do that are unexpected, even knowing how LLMs work, from applying philosophical theories in novel ways to coming up with a plan for saving the Roman Empire. I compiled a bunch of interesting examples in this post. oneusefulthing.substack.com/p/feats-to-ast…

This doesn’t mean these jobs are going away, and they may change in ways good (less tedious work) or bad (fewer jobs). This “could involve substitution or augmentation depending on various factors associated with the occupation itself.” But these jobs should expect to see change

“It is entirely possible to be cautious about using ChatGPT in legal professional environments (because it has not been engineered for that use) and simultaneously excited about the potential use of generative AI in the legal industry.” - Nicola Shaver

A recent study asked professionals to write realistic memos, strategy documents and policies. The ones who were given ChatGPT completed tasks 37% faster, and their average writing quality increased as well. All of this is without added training or extensive experience using

Where’s the #ChatGPT-like tool for my Twitter activity? Ideally would 1️⃣ read and summarize all the #legaltech #AI tweets I’ve liked or retweeted, including linked pages, and 2️⃣ synthesize into top takeaways. Next-gen tools may do this. Piecemeal options for now. #lawtwitter

Yep. Professionals handling confidential data will be looking for security commitments from LLM #AI tools. More flexibility when processing publicly available information. #lawtwitter #legaltech

“A baby spitballing credible Shakespeare imitations” is not an AI analogy I had on my Bingo card I can see that. With both, parents say, “If you think that’s impressive, wait till you see what the kid cooks up tomorrow”

People are making using AI for work too hard. Just use it wherever you ethically & legally can. Don't delay by fine tuning, or training on your data, or building a customized solution. Just get access to whatever the cutting edge model is & try it, you can do other stuff later.

A good illustration of the Jagged Frontier, where the relative difficulty of tasks to humans is not helpful in understanding how easy tasks are for AI It does chess but not tic-tac-toe. It writes sonnets but not 50 word paragraphs. It passes the bar exam but gets quotes wrong.

So far, I have not seen a single approach to integrating documents into LLMs that completely prevents the AI from hallucinating about document contents. With some approaches, hallucinations are relatively rare, but they happen. Use cases need to take hallucinations into account.
