[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly if you’re saying things like “AI isn’t good at summaries” or “someone did something with AI and it was terrible” then this is user error and/or refusal to use the paid tools. And in some cases it might be that the AI isn’t quite there yet but if you’ve seen how fast it has improved, you would know that it will be there in a few months. [/quote]

It... isn't good at summaries. And you're right, I'm not using the paid tools. Why would I pay if the free version has demonstrated it's garbage? "Oh, this is crap, so I should definitely sign up for a paid subscription to get the non-crap version!" [/quote]

Maybe you can do a free trial or use someone else’s account? The new versions really ARE very good at summaries, especially if you’ve given context around what you need the summary to include, what to exclude, what is important to you, etc. you don’t just say: “summarize this contract”. I’ve given my ChatGPT a profile of who I am, for example “commercial real estate lawyer” and then detailed prompts on what to look for, what I need to know, etc. it’s like you’re instructing a junior associate to produce a summary, and it does an amazing job, very quickly. [/quote]

PP. I have done this with free versions (ChatPDF because it doesn't require a login and is free), not with contracts specifically but documents for a hobby of mine, and I will literally say "please include every instance of X," (and all of the instances are listed on the cover sheet) and it will omit some in the summary, and then I will write "please do it again with Y which you omitted" and then it will give me a summary of just Y instead of incorporating it into the master summary. I'll tell it to refrain from giving me commentary on what things mean and just tell me what the document says, and it will cut down on commentary, but not eliminate it so I still have to go through and delete a lot of junk. And then as I go through the summary, it also just makes many factual mistakes, saying A called B, when B actually called A.

So it's not really a ringing advertisement that makes me want to try a paid version. The only reason I use it is it at least organizes everything into bullets so I can just edit it instead of typing the summary myself, but the prompting and editing take enough time anyway, and I would not feel comfortable using it for anything work related.

Ok, I don’t really know what to say then, because it sounds like you’re using a blunt knife and complaining it doesn’t cut so knives are no good, but you won’t buy a sharper knife. The paid for versions of these tools are many many times better, that is literally what you are paying for. In a few months, the current models in the paid tools will go to the free tools, as the paid ones will advance, so try the free tools again in maybe 6 months. [/quote]

I’ve been hearing the “it will be really great in 6 months” for at least two years[/quote]
