Is Jim Cramer already all in on AI?
I got stuck on the same sentence. What the hell was that?
I’m going to assume he thinks “person” and “thing” are synonyms.
I was thinking stuff like servant, mom, slave, wife something like that. But would have expected agent instead of thing, as that seems to be the term people go for and put hopes on, even Schneider is on the agent train (but we should make it ethical!)
For a client I recently reviewed a redlined contract where the counterparty used an “AI-powered contract platform.” It had inserted into the contract a provision entirely contrary to their own interests.
So I left it in there.
Please, go ahead, use AI lawyers. It’s better for my clients.
