Summarizing the legal terms for a new job offer
Someone is going to get legally screwed.
I'd trust an LLM more than my own interpretation.
HN: where people are proud to announce that they're illiterate.
...seriously, I get that legalese is hard to parse, but if you do it worse than a LLM you are illiterate, you are unable to retrieve information from written text.
I’m not sure it’s so black and white. // Reading yourself (at whatever level you are capable of and can tolerate) followed by asking an LLM to highlight any areas of the terms that are non-standard, may cause concern, could be restrictive, or might cost you later could help identify subtleties you might have missed. // Certainly it’d seem no worse and possibly better than just reading the terms, especially as a layperson.
This guy gets it. Sadly I don't think that the guy using LLMs to summarise legal terms for a job offer is doing this.
