[08:02] TR News "Private practice here. Hey Hi (AI) currently gives me efficiency with one hand, and takes away efficiency with the other.
Specifically, every bit of time I save myself through using AI, more of my time is wasted by clients misuse of Hey Hi (AI) to communicate with me.
How good state of the art Hey Hi (AI) becomes is a challenge for another day. The big challenge right now is dealing with slop"
[08:03] TR News "I think one of the biggest blockers in our profession is the assumption that Hey Hi (AI) must be able to do all of a patent monopoly attorneys job to be useful and in my opinion, thats the wrong benchmark. At this stage, Hey Hi (AI) is best understood as an augment. It accelerates reading, synthesis, firstpass analysis and drafting, whilst judgment, context and responsibility remain firmly human."
[08:04] TR News "Interesting data for sure, but there is also data about a topic which I think isn't currently being discussed enough: economics.
If you listen to Ed Zitron or other critics of the "AI bubble" like him, you find out that Proprietary Chaffbot Company and Anthropic currently spend anywhere between 3 US dollars to 15 US dollars for every 1 US dollar they earn from subscription revenues."
