A community for non- serious tech articles.
I would assume it's only readable in one of them insultingly small text windows where you can only read about 7-8 lines at the time. And just to top it off, the users shall not be able to copy-paste the text into notepad for readability.
Mmm, that's the good stuff.
I used to use an app called EULAizer or something along those lines. You could copy and paste any agreement you had to agree to into it, and it would summarize it. It flagged certain language and terms as problematic.
But not being able to copy the text does pose a problem for it.
That's rather smart, an actually good and analytical task for an AI. Pair it with OCR and just scroll through the entire thing while the program does it's thing.
Do a small intro "questionaire" when installing to set preferences "I accept this, I don't accept that" and maybe even just end up with a thumbs up or down rating.
I wouldn't trust an LLM to give me legal advice. A regular algorithm that flags key phrases/words (designed by a legal expert) would be more trustworthy
This was actually before AI, or at least what is called AI now.
I read through the ludicrously long license file for each of the technologies and middleware used on the Sky Digital boxes (Sky being a British firm whose core market was satellite television with their own set-top boxes).
It was all copy-paste bullshit, lots of duplication, and lots of boilerplate text which included [insert product name here] or dates that were placeholders as dd/mm/yyyy.
Probably put as much effort into the licences as I put in to doing any form of housework that day.
Being an HTML file, how much of that is code vs actual legalese?
I swear there was a 10th of that legalese when I signed up for a brokerage account.
This is approximately the same as 3 or 4 Bibles!
Another thing no one reads completely
