30000th poster gets a cookie (cookie thread (Part 7)) (Part 10)

this was a good article that helped me understand how i can use AI in my personal life

That an entire other discussion that I don’t feel like having because I don’t feel up to hyping up the idea of bringing back assassinations to improve the meta.

Here in Romania it’s the opposite. Lawyers need to get a mentor to suck up to, they also need to pass difficult exams, they also need to get into lawyer school which is hard to enter and exit and when you finally finish, there’s no such thing as lawyer corporations in Romania, so you’re a freelancer and is at fiercest competition with more seasoned lawyers in your domain and have to be a yesman slave to your client.

Prosecutor and Judge reaps all of your free time.

Notary has the same issue as lawyer on top of being really really tight to enter or pass the notary national exam.

should one use ai in their personal life .?

i mean lawyers still need to pass difficult exams and getting into law school is a hard thing in the USA but idk its one of the more secure ā€œhigh effort → high payā€ jobs I can think of that I wouldn’t be horrible at. Like I can do all of those things and feel better about my job prospects vs. an equally talented version of me that does CS (no offense to my CS friends)

this is true - but i’d argue that AI has widened the divide between students who will cut corners and students who will actually learn the material and use it in their career

Oh okay yeah you used the same example I did. We actually agree that the technology is useful. Someone I follow to read more about AI is Emily M. Bender, the director of the University of Washington’s Computational Linguistics Laboratory. Technology like the ones used in LLMs are what that laboratory researches. She thinks ChatGPT and similar are both a net negative on society and for the field in general. There are also other scholars and researchers who have spent decades researching AI that echo the same points. All of the money in AI is going to less useful or actively harmful things now. It’s actually having the opposite effect you’re implying in the opinion of people who are doing the research you say you want done.

By the way I am really curious how your law works. For us it’s more simplified because we have codification and annexed laws, but for you it’s the westminster system which is based on customs dictating reality, I don’t even know how jurisprudence is meant to be applied lol

(this is kinda true also. I genuinely feel like I am absolutely skill gapping my peers in a way i normally wouldn’t without chatgpt because I am actually learning the material whereas chatgpt feasibly allows you to go through some classes for free while learning truly nothing)

Our only jurisprudence that dictates interpretations and customs are more dictated by the justice supreme court, supreme constitutional court and international treaties to settle precedence.

well, one of my uses for AI is figuring out what books i should read. i also use AI to help me buy clothes, in order to figure out what i’d look like if i wore certain items of clothing. stuff like that

using AI for both of the above gives me lots of value when i would have otherwise looked through 10 different websites to choose clothes to buy, or arbitrarily choosing books based on what my friends like

The world will become too complex to navigate without the aid of AI.

i will become cooked. i think people are already using ai with little to no knowledge anyway or care so fair enough

i dont think its that arbitrary to read books based on what your friends like. especially if your friends know you or are similar to you. its a useful point of reference to go ā€œthis person liked this bookā€

i’ve watched at least a few shows/movies because Ash talks positively about them and i think he has good taste lol. i’d rather ask him for recommendations than chatgpt

and im gonna be so real i think using chatgpt to decide what clothes to wear is pretty cooked

Civil law system just uses unitary codes. Our civil code is like below 3000 articles, then we have an unitary code for the procedure aswell.

And then we have laws or treaties that serve as annexes in case it’s elaborated in there. It’s more simplified, jurisprudence is very limited for us, we do what it says in the law/code, if we have derogations it’s the same thing with what the written word says.

what do you mean? instead of talking to his friends about a shared interest, like a book they all read, he can talk to ChatGPT about it instead
