      No, you see, the only way to process the lawsuit worth “a large amount of money” is to use a chatbot. They were desperate! Not desperate enough to hire a contract lawyer to review it, or even read the contract themselves, mind you. The chatbot was the only available resource after all.

        It isnt even the lawsuit. They appear to just be talking about the lawyer’s engagement agreement that they couldn’t be bothered to read.

          Which is very funny, because they just assume that the first lawyer’s contract was “predatory” but didn’t actually read it to confirm that. They just assumed the AI was telling them the truth. Which is kind of scary honestly, it’s pretty easy to write up a contract or anything really then just run it through an AI to make it more “AI friendly” and so many people won’t even bother reading it, just getting an LLM to check it for them.

          It’s bad enough when it is just resumes that have to deal with that bullshit, but I can’t imagine how society can function when everything is just people getting AI to write everything so it is approved by AI without a single pair of human eyes ever reading it.

      my bro and i opened up a single-player puzzle game the other day and were met with this silly “agree to the eula” page, so of course we said fuck the puzzles, let’s see what this eula has to say. we proceeded to spend like an hour reading the eula, laughing at unenforceable and outright silly clauses, and collecting a huge list of supplemental licenses and shit the eula said we also needed to read.

      i honestly cannot imagine being in a position where i need to read a contract and im just like “i literally am not capable of this task, i need a robot to pretend to do it for me”

      Tbf to them I don’t read every ToS and I think most people don’t. But there’s some better legislation around that now and I do read the mandatory cliffs notes
