$10,000? That's a slap on the wrist. I don't say this lightly, this should have been jail time for someone. You're making a mockery of our most sacred institutions.

There's something grimly hilarious about knee-jerk demands for jail time for [other profession] for using AI, when a bunch of us here are eagerly adopting it into our own workflows as fast as we can.

Why jail time for lawyers who use Chat-GPT, but not programmers? Are we that unimportant compared to the actual useful members of society, whose work actually has to be held to standards?

I don't think you meant it this way, but it feels like a frank admission that what we do has no value, and so compared to other people who have to be correct, it's fine for us to slather on the slop.

The jail time wouldn't be for using AI. It would be for submitting a document to the court that would have gotten an F in any law school.

Sort of like recklessly vibe coding and pushing to prod. The cardinal rule with AI is that we should all be free to use it, but we're still equally responsible for the output we produce, regardless of the tooling we use to get there. I think that applies equally across professions.
