From an ABA report in 2020:

"[T]here are more patent attorneys and agents named 'Michael' in the United States than there are racially diverse women" in the patent bar.

“Ask LLMs to answer a complex question, and you will receive a convincing, erudite response in which key facts and citations are often made up. I suspect this will slow their widespread use in important industries much more than is being admitted, akin to the way driverless cars have been tough to roll out because they need to be perfectly reliable rather than just pretty good.”

There's a frightening overlap between the "ChatGPT is awesome" crowd and the "Do your own research" crowd.

Hey y'all, i know you know this, but while you definitely shouldn't use GPTs for legal research, also don't rely on GPTs for RESEARCH, PERIOD.

They are neither giving nor TRYING to give you intersubjectively associated and derived facts; they are not even remixing factual CONCEPTS into new forms.

They are modelling human biases out into digestible bullshit with a statistically-determined high probability of being swallowed.

That is all.

They don't have to be this way, but, at present, the people making them have no incentive to change them. So. Don't lean on them for fact stuff. It's not what they do.

I'll keep saying this as long as HP keeps treating customers like it owns them:

DO NOT buy anything from HP.

HP has found an exciting new way to DRM your printer!

HP’s latest inkjet scheme is hiding in plain sight. If you accept the free ink, HP will own your printer for life.
