The First AI Crisis Is Psychological
"A signed settlement agreement is not the same thing as a court-finalized divorce decree. The agreement still has to be incorporated into a judgment and entered by a judge. That takes time, at least six months in California."
"Even now, I keep asking AI questions I should take to professionals. Recently, I typed: Why are my hands going numb? The AI gave me a calm, specific answer and a tidy plan-monitor it; here are a few likely causes; here's when to worry."
"Watching a system speak with total certainty and realizing how much of our own credibility has always been tied to that certainty is destabilizing."
A couple sought an amicable divorce without lawyers, believing they could draft their own agreement. They learned that a signed agreement isn't a finalized divorce decree and requires court approval, which can take months. Despite initial confidence from AI assistance, the realization of legal complexities led to missed opportunities. The reliance on AI for various questions, including health concerns, provided comfort but raised concerns about self-worth and credibility in the face of AI's certainty.
