AI in professional work: human sign-off as the moat

GLM-Legal pitches AI contract review built on tracked changes and human review. Commenters immediately raised hallucinated case citations and asked for mandatory disclosure when attorneys use AI. One predicted lawyers will live gilded lives because the human signature requirement guarantees them easy, well-paid oversight work. A document review demo from Unsiloed and TypeSafe Jev got hit for its own example, which flagged '10 tablets' as a possible extraction error when the text said exactly that. That is a false positive in the demo.

The framing debate runs underneath. 'AI is a tool and using it well takes skill' sits next to a pointer to Rich Hickey's 'AI Is Not a Tool'. One commenter says the weekend project is where AI shines and real engineers matter once you scale. In a thread from 60-year-old developer revived by Claude Code, others say it feels unfulfilling and compare it to getting an A on a test you did not study for.

The pattern: everyone agrees the output needs a responsible human, and nobody agrees on what that human should be doing.
