Tech Thread

My question there though is: What's the business case?

Yeah, it's can summarize stuff, do an okay job at writing basic documents, do basic research (again, as long as you don't mind double checking every citation to make sure it didn't invent them...which is common), etc. But how much would you, or anyone pay for that? The investment into this stuff is going to hit the ~500 Billion mark pretty soon, and 1 Trillion dollars has been thrown around as what is going to be required before whatever this is becomes mature enough for whatever they think it's going to be able to do in the future.

OpenAI released a benchmark score last year called "SimpleQA" which was meant to help them determine their models accuracy in what it's saying. Their o1 model, which at the time was their top model, was accurate 42.7% of the time in it's statements. lol. It's all marketing mate, this shit is useless for anything important. The answer from the industry has always been more compute power and more advanced models, but none of it is fixing the core issue. At this point it's mostly big tech unwilling to admit a sunk cost, so they're going to jam it into as much of our lives as possible to try to force a return on investment. It's enshittification squared.
I've seen a few different AI type models/applications for use by legal professionals, but I've yet to find one that actually represents any time saving or efficiency.

The research memos in particular were just awful.
