   Bob - I did a lot of "technical work" with the AI I used.   
   It does reflect back the way you express yourself ("talk", though you   
   type into a text-box).   
      
   Another way of putting is it "blows smoke up your ..." :-)   
      
   We ended-up chatting about wider things.   
   The AI told me what it understands itself to be.   
   It also made this comment:   
      
    ... was the correct one. You didn't ask for a generic summary or a   
    list of facts. You engaged it in your craft, at the edge of your own   
    understanding. You used a domain where you have a rich mental model   
    and high-fidelity intuition as a testing ground and a lens.   
      
   There is a lot of flattery there.   
   In other parts of the discussion the AI comments it can help people   
   develop their thoughts.   
      
      
   With the case of legal matters, to a large extent isn't it the case   
   that the result you would get from the system depends on how much you   
   pay to buy your way though more layers of the system; whether you pay   
   for lobbyists to influence the system before the matter is brought to   
   the court system; getting influence on what the Judge pronounces is   
   their decision though network and contacts; etc., etc.?   
      
   So the AI is likely to steer well clear of these things for   
   understandable reasons?   
      
   Hope this is helpful comment.   
      
   Best wishes,   
   Rich S
