And the meter it runs on is the token, the little chunk of text every prompt and every response is measured in.

In this article we are going to make practical application where the stakes are unmistakable: a small law practice. If you don’t run a firm, stay with us anyway — we are working through law as an example precisely because it’s unforgiving. We will answer two questions every business owner eventually asks as they are the same in any field: What do I actually use this thing for? And how do I know the answer is any good? In a law office, getting the second one wrong gets you sanctioned. The discipline that protects a litigator protects everyone.

Billions upon billions even while 95% of generative AI pilots are failing according to an [MIT report](MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing | Fortune).
