If I have to use AI to argue my case in court, it is because I don't have enough money to hire a lawyer. You would think a CEO would understand their position in life.
This indicates that the CEO in question actually misunderstood their lawyer's position in life. AI-pushers really do think that all workers are expendable. They have absolutely drunk the Flavour-Aid on all of this.
They probably don't even see this as an "oopsie", just an argument to throw even more resources at the AI, because they're SO CLOSE to never having to pay a human for work ever again.
But, if you’re a CEO, and lawyer tells you, “no, the contract is solid. Honor it,” what are you to do? Why, ask an agreeable LLM for an answer that conforms to your world view because, obviously, you’re right because you’re the CEO.
The stupidest thing is that ChatGPT originally told him to pay them too. He had to get creative with the prompts in order to get actionable suggestions.
Amazing how much they will try to bend reality to their conception rather than the other way around. It’s a mental illness
Clearly this CEO only wants to deal with “yes” men etc. If you don’t agree with him then he’ll find somebody else who will.
Or you are too cheap and stupid to pay a lawyer….
In this case even dumber than that: he paid a lawyer (or rather, the company did) then chose to ignore their advice and go with ChatGPT instead.
