People need to be held in contempt if there's any AI hallucinations in their filings.
Many freaked out when Antropic reported they were going to watermark AI generated text because they'll be caught quickly.
People in software development who use AI to code don't realize how many white collar mid level admin people have started totally phoning it in using LLMs. I'm mildly curious to see how long they can ride this out.
Also a white collar guy in a professional industry. I write lots of letters, memos, and other "word spreadsheets" as I call them.
I am well versed enough with Ai that I know I could have it help me do my job; however, I find I would spend as much or more time reviewing it and rewriting it that I have chosen not to use it almost at all.
I've used it for some simple review or research but again it is limited and have provided incorrect information often so I typically avoid it and rely on human ingenuity.
My work day is bearable because I take time through my day to unplug, walk outside and talk to other humans and for that I am aware I'm privileged in that regard.
