She re-asked relevant questions regarding my now all remote workers (none in home office) and rare clients here. Those answers are irrelevant to the problematic new generic language of the contract. She said I'll get clarity within a week or so. <b>Fact is, any answer to the legal language problem risks admitting the problem in the first place. We'll see.</b><br><br>Two days ago I discovered in my errant spam folder an email from Fungai Tichawangana of <a href="https://ArtistDynamix.com" target="_blank">ArtistDynamix.com</a> asking about using this case in a post (on his <a href="https://Inc413.com" target="_blank">Inc413.com</a>?), to which I replied, yes for sure. <b>I suggest others here run their insurance contracts/policies through an LLM</b>, asking for risks. Sharing results here, beyond helping Fungai's prospective article, will show whether other insurance companies are likewise reducing their risks of payouts. </div><div><br></div><div><b>BTW, this use of LLMs is an example of emergent business opportunities.</b> Any law firms or insurance specialists could add such legal language critiques to their offerings. Domain pros are needed to vet LLM answers (at least for the next 3-5 years until AI/LLM may exceed all pros' value). A local association guiding LLM use per profession and populated by peer firms could offer a badge of this association that assures clients and prospects that the participating firms are using AI/LLMs to deliver more excellence than average in the nation. That's the idea in my rather back-burnered <b>ALI (Agency LLM Innitiative) and </b><a href="https://www.2disc.com/services/sali/" target="_blank"><b>SALI seminars</b></a><b> (Simple Accelerated LLM Integrations)</b><b>. It's a model that various business associations could advance to gain membership and pull in national revenue to a local area.</b><b><br></b><br></div><div id="Zm-_Id_-Sgn" data-sigid="1535369000000073001" data-zbluepencil-ignore="true"><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px"><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">Best Regards,<br></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px"><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; color: rgb(170, 48, 37)"><b><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">Rob Laporte</span></span></b><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px"><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">CEO | R&D Manager</span><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif"><br></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px"><b><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">DISC - Making Websites Make Money</span></span></b><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif"><br><a href="mailto:Rob@2disc.com" target="_blank">Rob@2disc.com</a>, <span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">413-584-6500</span></span></span></span><br></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px"><span class="size" style="font-size:13px"><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.2disc.com">www.2disc.com</a></span></span><span class="size" style="font-size:16px"><span class="font" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif"></span></span><br></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal"><span class="size" style="font-size:16px"><span class="font" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif"></span></span><br></div><div><b style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal"><span class="size" style="font-size:16px"><span class="font" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif"><span class="colour" style="color:rgb(153, 0, 0)">NOTE:</span></span></span></b><span class="size" style="font-size:16px"><span class="font" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif"><span class="colour" style="color:rgb(153, 0, 0)"> Emails can be blocked by spam filters throughout the web.

office. What she didn't say is what, apparently, the contract
states: the coverage is reduced in proportion to the percent
of home used for business. I used an LLM to unpack the
legalese, which is full of serpentine references to other
clauses, and uses language likely to decieve one into
believing that only home day care work impacts coverage. I had
ChatGPT write a letter asking for <i>written</i> clarification--forget friendly talk. Meanwhile, Amica
auto-sent texts thanking me for my approvals, and I did not
approve it yet, which I explained via Amica's communication
systems, so there's a clear record. They also charged my bank
despite my turning on auto-pay only for the car insurance, and
there too I posted a memo indicating I did not intend this
payment, again to produce a clear paper trail. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I'll let you know the final outcome of this saga. I imagine
