I came into some money after my Dad passed so I paid off my debts so I could quit my job as a Teacher to work in a Warehouse. as I was so stressed and had no work/life balance. It’s been over a year since then and I don’t think I’ll ever get back into it. If anything I might pursue a new qualification in a different field.

If that happened to me I’d probably go work at McDonald’s I loved that job in college.

There are limitations on my ability to use AI in the workforce. Even in the few ways I can use it, it is often wrong or misapplying the information so it’s not very helpful

I’m a lawyer too and that just sounds like you’re using it wrong. It’s fully capable of handling any and all litigation tasks. It can write scripts for phone calls, etc.

How do you get around the fact that you can’t disclose privileged information on open AI?

Open AI is trash, I use Grok. It’s the best by far

I don’t think so, and also I would just use more AI to fight against any pushback I get lol. There’s no case I can’t handle. I go up against lawyers with way more experience and win

Just gonna hop in here to say that 1) AI is still ass when it comes to hallucinating statutes, misapplying them, and often fails to pick up key evidence from large documents like medical records. And putting personal information into Grok is absolutely insane. We have integrated copilot in Microsoft and send out an AI and anonymous data consent form upon case opening because of that alone. Do you at least inform your clients that AI has such an active role in their case?

I always uphold the highest ethical standards, but you’re clearly a novice when it comes to AI. It’s all about how you use it

I personally would not represent a client that tells my firm not to use AI. It’s going to be malpractice not to use it soon, like 2-3 years probably
