Right? Lawyers can get into deep shit if they misrepresent their ability to well, represent a client on a case outside of their area of competence. How are medical professionals that often won't even tell you what they think about a te

Why do users insist on using tools that can get them fired? This is either a policy or culture problem, not an AI problem. Hell, just make a macro to replace all the funny anachronisms and a prompt that can reference your own writing style
