Violating ethical norms (and failing to even recognize that they exist) isn’t the same thing as “moving ethical lines,” which suggests he’s on the right side of those moving lines. The use of euphemisms to whitewash the situation abdicates the responsibility to report the truth.

The thing is, you COULD use an AI tool effectively for contracts. But it has to be able to ask smart questions. Non-AI legal document automation tools like HotDocs have been used for decades. But the genAI I've seen just gives you contract-ish things that look good until you actually read them.

For the first time ever, Germany is permanently stationing a combat brigade abroad — nearly 5,000 troops in Lithuania by 2027, facing the growing Russian threat. Who are the men and women behind this mission? We go behind the scenes as they prepare for the worst.

One of my coworkers wasn't sure if July 3rd was a holiday or not because AI told them it was. Nevermind that we have numerous ways to find out, internally, whether a day is a corporate holiday or not.

LoL, pretty similar here. It's like "AI can save you so much time! But also it can't be trusted, so double check the output. Also under no circumstances should you upload internal data to the AI. Did we mention you need to check the output? Actually, we're not really sure how this might help you."

In the past six months I've written a 110 page film, a 54 page pilot and a 25 page format along with probably another hundred or so pages of miscellaneous bullshit both in support of those projects and other, for money, all on hard deadlines, without AI. This used to be called "being a writer."

Watch the still-powerful, six-minute-long “A Short Vision” by Peter and Joan Foldes below. (Although controversial, the film proved so popular that Sullivan rebroadcast it as part of his show two weeks later on June 10, 1956, this time warning parents to first take their children out of the room.)
