    The problem had literally jack shit to do with me “tacitly supporting unparsable, complicated contract language”.

    The problem had to do with me being in a disadvantaged position(particularly having just lost my job and having no money), and having no options.

    What the hell else was I supposed to to do solve the very real problem I was facing.

    Before you judge in the way you just did, put yourself in the other person’s shoes. People with no options using the only option available to them are not doing anything unethical, and to claim that they are is just flat-out disgusting.

      The problem had everything to do with the predatory contract being unparsable, complicated contract language, because if it wasn’t, you wouldn’t have needed AI to summarize it. You could have simply just read it yourself. That’s all I’m saying. I’m not judging you, I’m not claiming you did anything unethical. I’m pointing out that using AI to read contacts is merely addressing the symptom, not the cause. I’m glad it worked for you, and if people need to use it in the near term out of necessity, so be it, but I think it’s important to point out the actual cause and get people to think of ways to address the actual root issue.
