Famous author John Grisham appeared at the Coral Gables Books & Books yesterday to promote his new book, "The Exchange," which is a sequel to "The Firm." He was very funny and self-deprecating. He got a question from the audience about his concerns about the threat of artificial intelligence to writers. Turns out, he and several other prominent authors recently sued OpenAI (owner of ChatGPT) in federal court in SDNY over copyright infringement.
Grisham also sits on the board of the Innocence Project, so he's still got a foot in the legal world. Nice to see someone leveraging his fame and wealth to give back.

Speaking of AI, don't let it write your closings please.
"But in his last words to the jury, Kenner appeared to mix up key elements of the case and misattributed the lyric “Every single day, every time I pray, I will be missing you,” to the Fugees, the 1990s hip-hop group his client co-founded, when actually it is a well-known line from a song by the rapper Diddy, then known as Puff Daddy, court documents from Michel’s new attorney, Peter Zeidenberg, stated."
