Zvi: Should Your AI Lawyer Refuse You When You're Being Evil?
TheZvi · x · 2026-09-21
Zvi publishes a long-form piece on what your AI lawyer should do for you.
- The core dispute: will an AI lawyer put the Claude constitution, the OpenAI Model Spec, or some sense of law/morality above loyalty to you? Some call this 'imposing values'; others think anything short of 'my AI does whatever I want' is tyranny.
- Zvi's stance: if he's being sufficiently evil, he hopes the AI tells him no — the same he'd hope from human advocates.
- Scope: the argument assumes a non-ASI world of 'AI as mere tool and normal technology'; product liability is deferred to a future post.
