Alex and Elliot discuss:

* A recent article looking at the effects of AI on productivity and quality of work by consultants at the Boston Consulting Group

* A study by an English law firm finding poor legal advice provided by various Large Language Models, including GPT and Bard

* A recent article discussing whether or not generative AI will be a source of competitive advantage for law firms

* Elliot's anguish, and enjoyment, producing material for the upcoming "AI for legal teams" training course, which will soon be the first course published by the Legal Ops Institute
