I think the case is getting the attention because it's not just some one spouting off online, it's a lawyer bumping into the legal system with false information that would otherwise be a massive legal no-no and they are trying to scape-goat it onto the new shiny software.

But they might have seen the shiny new software touted by "those smart AI guys as being revolutionary and passing the Bar!" and they don't hang out on HN all day so to them that's like someone saying "this bridge is sturdy!" and they walk over it without realizing they should really go over the nuts and bolts of it like a civil engineer to really be sure

I just think idiots who touch fire should be burned - particularly lazy idiots whose high paid job in fact requires them to be extremely careful and precise in their actions, and who refuse to take responsibility for their actions afterwards.

It's not that they need to inspect every nut and bolt of the bridge, they just need to not walk over the bridge - or at least, not immediately start driving unreasonably heavy loads across it.

Are we talking about lawyers or the AI researchers?, because they certainly want to portray themselves as a modern day Prometheus
