It’s that weird cold where it’s not that cold but it’s cold enough that it gets to your bones with enough time. So I had to pull out the big guns to warm myself up.

P.S. I look particularly rougher than normal because it was our office Xmas party yesterday and I just can't handle day-long drinking like I used to be able too. That IH x Ocean Bottle has not left my side all day.
@WhiskeySandwich Awesome!
I almost had one a couple of weekends ago, but it turned out to just be @AdamC so I don't count it!
@goosehd I think I'm not making myself clear enough, maybe.
By "what you want" I mean what task you want it to do. So "summarise this case" or "draft me a couple of paragraphs summarising [law bit]". I personally wouldn't ask it for "give me cases that support argument X" at this stage. Doing so has landed lawyers in hot water because the AI models are not search engines and it leads to some models hallucinating cases that don't exist. (But I know that there are models under development in law that would be able to answer that query.) At the end of the day, one key piece of advice when using these models is to check everything before anything goes out.
Generally, yeah, I do find law to be a bit analogous to science:
research = research your client's facts and the relevant law
hypothesis = predict the outcome by applying the law to your client's factual matrix
experiment = take the case to court and see what happens
I wouldn't say that a good lawyer is only concerned with getting "exactly what they are looking for" though. It may appear that way to the outside world, but a good lawyer should be advising their client honestly on the legal strengths and weaknesses of their position. Those conversations are privileged, of course, so don't get seen by the outside world. And a client in a legally weak position may have other options open to them, like settling the case early (if a dispute) or using other means to improve their bargaining position. I tell my clients things they don't want to hear all the time, but that very rarely means they have no options or agency in the situation at all.
@WhiskeySandwich said in Artificial Intelligence:
If you want a specific answer, ask a specific question.
To which I'd add, "and direct it to the resource". I've had a few examples of it referencing older law - presumably because there will be more written about old law - which has been superseded. But when I've specifically told it "make sure you refer to this" and then given it a link or copy-pasted the updated legislation into the chat box, it has been able to incorporate that into its response.
@popvulture said in Artificial Intelligence:
I’ve been subscribing to the mindset that it’ll be less of a job replacer and more of a job augmenter/assistant in the future. There are all kinds of things that stuff like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc already do to make my life a shitload easier.
This. I (a lawyer) have been dabbling with AI for the last few weeks, and so far it's really good at some things, and then hits a wall.
For instance, if an interesting case gets a judgment, I can ask it to summarise the case, and it will do a very decent job. If I ask it to weigh the impact of that case in the broader corpus of caselaw in that area, it throws a wobbly. So far, at least, it looks like it will help us with understanding an area of law, but won't replace the ability to think creatively about how to apply that law to our clients' issues.
As a general point, I find there is an art to crafting a good prompt too. If I just say "summarise case [X]" then it does a passable but not too impressive job. But if I say "summarise the legal arguments, judicial reasoning, and broader implications of case [X]" then it is much more impressive. You basically need to treat it like an intelligent ignoramus: capable of doing a lot but unaware of any context. So if you tell it (i) what you want; (ii) why you want it; (iii) what you expect it's answer to include; and (iv) how you want it presented, it does a lot more for you than otherwise.
The scary thing is that this tech is as bad as its ever going to be right now. That chap from one of these AI companies had serious egg on his face just a couple of weeks ago when he said that he didn't think an AI would ever be able to generate video, and then OpenAI announced Sora literally the next day. I've been trying to write a Powerpoint to educate my colleagues about all this stuff and how to use it, and it's been a really hard project to complete because there's constant development and news in this field and I have to keep updating the damned thing!
I do want to see what @Alex's WAYWT mirror pics look like in those mirrors before they go... y'know, while the opportunity presents itself.
Surprised you bothered with weight plates when a few stacks of jeans would do.
@GraemeE Mrs H and I are 3 episodes in, and very much enjoying it. Classic Guy Ritchie with all the stereotypical gangs of Britain, dark humour, class commentary and brutal violence. It's going to be interesting to see what he does when given the chance to stretch the runtime into a whole season.
Mrs H and I recently watched One Day on Netflix too. It's a will-they/wont-they romance drama so not normally my thing, but I wound up getting into it. The story starts on 15 June 1988 with our two protagonists meeting at the last-day-of-uni party, and then checks in with them on the same day every year to see what they're getting up to, which was a neat conceit. Really well acted.
Ha, and they have the cheek to put a copyright notice on the bottom of their website.
