i signed a contract with the admins so the mods could sexually harass me politely, and that makes it extra legal. no i’m not referring to any specific communities or instances.

42·11 days agoagain it’s context. specificity might be a better word? both. are they talking about someone’s specific sitiation or are they talking generalities. does the advice they are giving have context. some rando on youtube, if they’re making up stuff in response to people’s specific questions about their problems and “not” telling them what to do, that can fall afoul of illegal practice of law. if they’re talking about general “well you need gold fringe on your conveyor’s license because admiral keystone q transyldracula said…” in the same way some law youtubers talk about “well here’s how due process works”, it sucks but they have free speech. people are free to mislead each other, unfortunately, just when or if you are relying on those misrepresentations for any transactions it becomes fraud (which is where misleading people becomes a crime). just some examples of the limits on free speech. again, not a lawyer, just have been too embroiled in the legal field all my life.

31·11 days agothe difference between giving information and giving advice is context. if i know your situation, i am giving advice. if i am just talking about the law in general, i am giving information. the former, i know context. the latter, i don’t.

63·11 days agoBut the thing is, it should be a tool - carefully used - to enhance the existing profession, not replace actual professionals.
except in practice, the “professionals” just take the LLM’s word as unassailable and disengage their brains. funny that, the gap between theory and reality

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The woman below replied, “You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.”
“You must be a programmer,” said the balloonist.
“I am” replied the woman,“How did you know?”
“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help so far.”
The woman below responded, “You must be a manager.”
“I am,” replied the balloonist, “but how did you know?”
“Well,” said the woman,"You don’t know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow “it’s my fault.”
