I got to see that firsthand with a series of lawsuits my parents were involved in regarding land use in Oregon. They were being sued by neighbors to stop their building a house on 118 acres of farmland, which is too small to be farmed profitably without a house and equipment on the property (that’s just were we are in agriculture today.) <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My mother really knows how to use the internet, and did. The neighbors, even though they have cable up there, either didn’t know how or just didn’t. The kept suing and bringing absurd cases which could easily be debunked with a few hours of due diligence, now about an hour with ChatGPT acting as one’s paralegal. She won ever case, with at least two of them being dismissed with prejudice, and one of them resulting in those bring the case committing extortion. She chose to not press charges. The house was built.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This demonstrates the power of the internet and now ChatGPT in the hands of one party in a conflict but not the other.

My contention is that there is no way to stop it. We are not going to call in airstrikes on server farms.
