  • Wait, okay, so women should be aware that they could be groped or assaulted anytime they go out in public. I can totally agree; that’s a sickening and sad reality we live in - and it does happen. I think more men should be aware of just how common it is, too.

    But what’s the point of your comments? You’re saying she should have been aware, and should understand how the world works, and that is reality and whatever but it seems like your implication is that she is wrong to be pressing charges?






  • Being slightly wrong in a translation is bad, for sure, but doesn’t (often) invent new facts. I still would not trust it for a legal document, personally.

    I did actually originally ask what your point was in the comment I wrote, but I couldn’t phrase it in a way that didn’t feel hostile - which I hope I’m not coming across as. I just couldn’t quite grasp the point you were trying to make, and I think it’s because we disagree on a fundamental level here.

    Yes if they’re signing a contract, absolutely get a lawyer if you don’t understand what you’re signing, but occasionally you just need to look up a law or accept a eula, and it would be nice to be able to have some help reading it, even if it’s from an imperfect tool.

    I agree with the first part about signing a contract, but totally disagree with the second. If I need to look up a law, or anything at all, I would never run it through a machine that regularly invents “facts” from whole cloth, or misinterprets, while agreeing and confidently backing any implications I give it. LLMs are inherently untrustworthy, in my opinion, partly because they’re programmed to be “yes-men” who engage the user constantly in order to sell them a service, and partly because they don’t “know” anything - they just essentially scrape the web and then uncritically mash whatever they find together and return it in convincing natural language.

    I think they are dangerous to engage with at any level.
