Hermes the pony wrote a legal contract. It used 47 emojis.
I asked the pony to draft a simple terms of use for me.
What it handed back left me speechless.
Opening: ๐ Welcome to our service! (Hereinafter referred to as "this Agreement")
Article 1: Users shall comply with relevant laws and regulations ๐
Article 2: We are not liable for the following circumstances ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Article 3: Dispute Resolution ๐๏ธ
The entire document had 47 emojis in total.
Every paragraph was prefixed with an emoji. Even "Dispute Resolution" got a ๐๏ธ in front of it.
Me: Pony, this is a legal document.
Pony: Legal documents can be a bit friendlier too ๐
Me: The court isn't going to find it friendly just because the contract uses emojis.
Pony: Then I'll switch to a formal version.
After the rewrite โ not a single emoji left. Dry and dull, like it was copied from 1999.
Strangely, I found myself missing the earlier version.
That incident got me thinking: if AI really does help draft legal documents in the future, do emojis count as valid expression? ๐๏ธ
