    Even if they plateaued in place where they are right now it would lead to major shakeups in humanity’s current workflow

    Like which one? Because it’s now 2 years we have chatGPT and already quite a lot of (good?) models. Which shakeup do you think is happening or going to happen?

      I don’t know anything about the online news business but it certainly appears to have changed. Most of it is dreck, either way, and those organizations are not a positive contributor to society, but they are there, it is a business, and it has changed society

        I don’t see the change. Sure, there are spam websites with AI content that were not there before, but is this news business at all? All major publishers and newspapers don’t (seem to) use AI as far as I can tell.

        Also I would argue this is no much of a change except maybe in simplicity to generate fluff. All of this existed already for 20 years now, and it’s a byproduct of the online advertisement business (that for sure was a major change in society!). AI pieces are just yet another way to generate content in the hope of getting views.

        Oh boy…what can possibly go wrong for documents where small minutiae like wording can make a huge difference.

            No, not that either. Unless you consider “use LLM to summarize the changes/errors/inaccuracies, then have a human read the whole thing again” an improvement over “just have a human read the whole thing”.

            Because LLM will do all these things:

            • point you toward issues
            • point you toward non-issues
            • not point you toward issues
            • change stuff even when “instructed” not to

            If there is one thing you don’t want to throw an LLM at without full, unbiased review, it’s documents where the wording is legally binding. And if you have to do a full, unbiased review to begin with, where you can’t even trust your tool to have highlighted all the important parts, you may as well not bother with the tool.

            I really can’t see this being done by any sane person. Why would you have a generator of text reviewing stuff (besides grammar)? Do you have any reference of some companies doing this, perhaps?

              Its complex pattern matching and looking up existing case law online. This work has been outsourced to contracting companies for at least 7 years that I’m aware of. If it is something that can be documented in a run book for non professionals to do for twenty cents on the dollar then there is no reason it can’t be done by a script for .002.

                Aside from a handful of business that tried to do that and failed miserably, some of them failing in actual court, you mean?
