[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My job as an attorney is uniquely unsuitable for AI, so I really never use it at work. [/b]

I use it occasionally to provide high level overviews of non-work topics. One of my kids has recurrent ear infections, so recently I asked Claude to give me an idea of the likely options will we have before his ENT appointment in a few weeks. [/quote]

I'm an attorney as well and there are things AI can help you with. What kind of law do you practice?

I will often get incorrect or incomplete answers if I ask specific questions, but if you go in expecting that and push back it can be useful.

One thing it's great at is document review, for example.[/quote]
I feel like lawyers are the first thing AI could replace. [/quote]

Definitely not.  It can help with process issues and save quite a bit of time but AI is notorious for hallucinating cases, statutes, not making the right connections from the cases it does correctly cite.  [/quote]

That is true for older, generic AI use, but the technology is changing very quickly.

The hallucination problem is not solved by just asking a better chatbot. The newer approach is an **AI brain layer** around the model. The model is connected to verified sources, managed context, citations, tools, and agents, instead of just answering from memory.

Earlier this year, a lot of this was still basically indexed files. You uploaded documents, the system searched them, and the AI summarized what it found. Useful, but limited.

The newer capability is much more advanced. The system can organize the information, build context around it, understand relationships between documents, and give the AI the right source material to reason from. In other words, the AI is not just guessing. It is working from a controlled knowledge system.

That does not mean you blindly trust it. You still verify everything. But it changes the hallucination issue from "AI makes things up" to "how well is your AI system grounded, sourced, audited, and reviewed?"

So yes, bad AI hallucinates. Generic AI hallucinates. But source grounded AI with a managed brain/context layer is a different category of tool.

Things are moving so fast that even what I understood 3 to 6 months ago has already changed.
