Brilliant

Do you actually think it’s okay that they had a bot make a press release this hamfisted?

Bruh when I first got my computer the first thing I did after getting a browser was install AdBlock except it was a virus site posing as adblock. I feel so dumb right now. I think I need to just pay someone to sit with me for an hour and teach me computer basics. It feels like I missed a step and everyone knows what’s going on but me

It gave them bad advice

Without those, what can you recommend to someone who is not tech-savvy but willing to learn?

Oh sorry I kinda went off on my own tangent but I’m glad you have people looking out for you. We had to file and file and file and kept bouncing to different courts and going to the 7th circuit etc and it was crazy how much work they put in to try to block it. Imagine if they just gave you benefits straight away, since they definitely wasted more money with the denials and appeals. What a wonderful world. I really hope you’re doing well (clearly I’m not the terminology guy)

My fear is that we may lose the older judges to the people who pull stunts like this, and then it’ll be an unqualified and ignorant judge listening to lawyers citing imaginary evidence

Why did you try to use AI for that in the first place? Are you not part of the problem? Glad you figured it out

I miss integrity.

I know how this is going to sound but during college I thought I was going to go to law school and I had a cute little part-time job with the smallest local law firm. It was just the lawyer who had been doing it for ages and another part-time lawyer, so pretty much a one-man firm, and I would draft briefs for him that were absolutely ridiculous in their acerbity. He would then edit them and call me into his office and show me his edits and tell me I needed to tone it down. It was social security disability law, so there were a lot of people with debilitating diseases, some of whom didn’t receive benefits for YEARS until after their deaths (benefits went to widow/ers). It shook me and the scales fell from my eyes, but we actually worked on these things. He was a smart guy and could have done a different field of law but he genuinely wanted to do this, and the college students he employed cared too, and we crafted our own words.

I really miss that man.

Anyway, all of that to say even if paralegals were drafting the lawyers’ statements, there is no reason for them to not look over them and properly edit before they submit. Because some of my first drafts were wildddd lol

I like free but will check it out when I have some money, thanks

Thank you for this! I changed to duckduckgo just now and it took 5 seconds. Now to see if it works as well as Google.
