## What Jamie wrote

What is a good use for Gen AI? How about reading those ridiculous Terms of Service documents that you are forced to click accept and have no idea what you just accepted. 

Some background. A decade or so ago I got the wiki bug in a bad way and one of the use cases I thought made sense was a wiki approach to Terms of Service. I got it started on TOSredux.org with the thought that you could crowdsource a semantic analysis of terms of service and then use a browser plugin to give good feedback to people on what they are accepting. 

Using AI for this makes even more sense. The challenge still exists to get the information to the person at the time they are looking at the agreement. Make it "in band" to the process. Will people care? I don't know. But at least we could be better informed.
