Extract from Melissa ‘Rogo’ Rogozinski’s article “AI Copyright – Ethical and Legal Considerations for Marketing and Sales”
When ChatGPT made its public debut on Nov. 30, 2022, I waited with bated breath and trained caution for the tool to evolve. The hype of AI reminded me of the early days of Snapchat technology when users were led to believe that sent pictures would magically disappear after just a few seconds. Less than one month later, we discovered all of those “deleted” pictures were stored in a hidden file called “.nomedia.”
I expected a fallout with AI, too.
Patience Is a Virtue
Patience is a virtue because it allows us to remain calm and focused during challenging circumstances. It also helps us make better decisions and achieve our goals.
AI wasn’t new to law or legal tech, but it had a shiny new package as an LLM, and I didn’t understand it.
Never one to jump on board with trends, I patiently read, listened, and asked questions. There was a plethora of articles from media sources and colleagues addressing AI’s performance and legal issues as well as its benefits. The amount of information being published daily was overwhelming.
