I’m a lawyer— I don’t trust AI at all and neither does my employer

That was really convincing, especially since you’re a lawyer. I’m not going to use it any longer.

I wasn’t trying to convince you? That said IME you can’t ask AI questions and know the answer is right and you can’t ask it for sources that back up its statements and know those sources are real and not figments of the AI. Those are important things for lawyers.

But you are free to use it how you wish. Maybe you are in advertising ir something and it’s fine for you.

I use it to draft emails to colleagues when I’m frustrated with them, but I ask AI to draft it in the style of different characters from movies or whatever. I don’t send the emails, it’s more like a hilarious form of therapy. My favorite email was in the style of Larry David to a colleague who kept trying to delegate admin task to me.

I don’t use it for actual work.

I was being silly. Not sure why people insert the fact they are lawyer as if that somehow makes their opinion more valuable.

I’m on the technical side so I mostly ask it technical stuff. I find it helpful since it aggregates and distills info from various sources. That saves me from clicking on various search engine hits and having to filter through various websites to get what I want. Some sites are sketchy, lots have ads and other useless content, or are poorly written. I definitely don’t take it as gospel though, I get wrong answers sometimes.

I am National Sales Manger, I use AI daily for

- Emails

- Competitor research
- Ideas and content for social post copy
- Data Analysis, data formatting and merging
- Generating graphics/visuals

And about two dozen other things

+1. So unimpressed with all these people who can't write letters or job descriptions on their own. No wonder so many letters and job descriptions are full of meaningless jargon instead of thoughtful content.


Its a tool to be more efficient not a replacement for humans. I use all of the time. You are as successful with it as your prompts.

I have been using it to synthesize text data that we get from surveys. Paste the responses in there and Ai categorizes and paraphrases the text. So far it has been accurate and comes up with categories that I would not have thought of.

Lawyer here too and I wouldn’t use it for case law, but if you think it’s not already being used everywhere already such as in back end tech, you are misinformed.

I’m in house and it’s used across my company in various forms

If you ignore it, prepare to be out performed

Super curious to see ways that people are using it and how widespread.


I have a super prompt with copilot that allows me to plow easily through emails and manage my calendar. It summarizes Teams calls and lists actions. And it wordsmiths documents.

It’s better at analyzing images than a human. It making radiologists obsolete.

I have used it for suggestions for itineraries while traveling in foreign countries with our active, outdoorsy family.

If you and your employer view it only as a search engine, that's a rather simple-minded view of the technology.

When I'm in a bad mood, I use the Draw feature to make silly pictures.

I've occasionally asked questions but it doesn't help too much. I don't need summaries or average content very often. I like surprisingly insightful information. AI doesn't do that very well yet.

After I wrote my self-evaluation for my performance review, I realized it would have been interesting to try AI. I might still run it through to see what it can do.

A money-saving use that I have seen is transcript-making directly during focus group research.

I was an early Internet adopter. So I'm no technophobe.


If you were "an early Internet adopter" you are old enough to probably be a technophobe with re to today's tech anyway.
