Jared and special guest Ernie Svenson, of LawFirm Autopilot and Ernie the Attorney fame, are here to talk about everything from AI for law firms to where Jared has been traveling.
First, Jared goes full stream of consciousness in his monologue, starting with a recent concert in Boston, which leads to him recounting two times he was held up at gunpoint and knifepoint as a teenager. He jokes that his refusal to hand over his wallet proves he is "obstinate, dumb, and lucky."
Then, Ernie talks about the "AI tech stack" for law firms. He shares his top-three AI tools and explains why low-cost options like ChatGPT Plus are a great "gateway" for lawyers. He argues that AI's biggest value is as an "amplifier of ability" for existing staff, helping them accomplish more without necessarily hiring new people. He also gives a raw take on AI ethics: the problem isn't the AI, but the human incompetence it has exposed.
Finally, stick around for our new Counter Program segment: "Where in the World is Jared Correia?" Can Ernie catch that dastardly Jared Correia as he hops about the globe?
