Yup, we don't like it much either. :)

The most use I get out of it is that it's good at telling me what an application is capable of doing, so when I'm trying to solve a problem it can explain options to me that I didn't know about beforehand, and then direct me to self-training materials. That's what I use it for the most, at least.

My employer has Copilot, but the conversations about when and where we use it are always measured and we always weigh the time gained vs the time that would need to be spent validating the output. It is useful at times, like today, when I wanted to pull 200 footnotes out of a word document and into an excel sheet. I'm still going to have to check every line item, but validating will take less time than doing the work manually.

I also work in the legal industry, so just whipping things up via sloppification isn't realistic since screwing up has massive implications for the firm and the client.

Sharon is a Grand Dame if ever I saw one. What a perfect little baby.

I understand that 'Guilt By Association' is kind of a sticky concept, but it's been a recurring theme in recent years where these public and mass shootings perpetrated by minors seem to have been directly preventable absent parental negligence or implicit support. For that reason, I'm glad to see the law beginning to recognize the problem and act.

To me, this is no different than an adult giving booze or drugs to minors, just significantly more catastrophic.
