Had an "Fundamentals of <AI tool>" course at work, given by someone from the AI tool provider.

A lot of emphasis on having to double check output: "It's like asking a junior colleague, who might misunderstand you, or need more context, so you must check they got it right."

There was also a bullet point to the effect that you can ask it to give results in simple language, or academic language, or in the style of an author. So I asked if this meant the model had been trained on a given author's books, and if they'd been compensated.

The answer was evasive, but they did say that the provider would defend any copyright infringement lawsuits we as corporate users might be hit with.

Uh--huh.
