The summaries are good but I wish it also had the ability to answer my questions about document like whether something is allowed or not or what are my rights, etc,.

It depends what you use the tool for. You can use tool for menial tasks while doing something highly creatives. Tools inherently don't make us dumber. The choice is always lies with the individual.

#54Given how confident AI can be when it's incorrect, it feels like a bit of a problem to use AI with legal docs, since you can't really trust it to be correct (and the cost of being incorrect may be absurdly high).
That's why all the results come with an "AINAL" disclaimer.

#55How is this "not legal advice"? You're _selling_ summaries of legal documents.
Re: Detangle: AI-generated summaries of legal docs
#56I'm sorry, but in the nicest possible way, this is bullshit. Anybody who has been in business-roles that involve reviewing legal documents will tell you that. TL;DR three things: 1. The AI will NOT tell you if it is the right document for the context, only a lawyer will do that 2. The AI is unlikely to correctly analyse the document, clauses in a legal document have inter-relation with each other and with the general…
Whether you're using the right start point and picking the right optional pieces are definitely important. But for most kinds of agreements I see and advise on, there's nothing lawyers know that nobody else could know. What you need doesn't have to come from a lawyer, though it often does.
Meanwhile, specifics of the deal and the broader context can also matter, sometime more than the abstractions legal forms tend to deal in. A lawyer may or may not notice those and reason through them.
Paving an AI path over ill-fitting or over-standardized legal terms isn't great for the industry. Neither is reinforcing lawyer monopoly over business knowledge.

#57Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are you able to convert the weights of a Neural Network into the training text that adjusted them?
Simply allowing someone to do this could violate the court's order, is the point. Maybe detangle should give a summary on the kind of documents it can help with and how to identify them, if it's going to pretend to be anything like a lawyer.
I'd question if that would hold up in court. Can the court order also be violated if I burn a contract and use the ashes to grow vegetables? Presumably about as much information in the contract is extractable from the vegetable as from a NN weight.

If you gave the contract to someone (to burn) when the court order prohibited giving it to a non-party, yes, absolutely. No need to be obtuse about it and to fight the hypo. It isn't entirely unusual for a contract in a litigation to be marked as attorney's eyes only, or highly confidential, and for there to be a protective order limiting the distribution of such documents. Also would not be unusual for a party to produce such a document in the discovery process, to which a protective order would also apply.

#59I work through a bunch of contract documents reissued with a just a few changes. I need a service that would identify what the changes are instead of me going through each document and reading it over again Or doing a comparison of previously issued documents with this one.
What do you mean exactly, are you just looking for software that will highlight the differences between two documents? That software exists already.
Yes that software does exist and currently my go to method (convert pdf to word document, compare changes in word).
The ideal system would highlight (sets of) text that that's common between both documents and underline text that is original. Or vice versa.

Interesting, what is your job? Contract lawyer? do you work in biglaw or in house counsel? or a vc firm?
Engineering marketing concentrating on government proposal requests. That involves contracts, described scopes of work, etc.
