I accidentally did this myself not long ago. Like everyone else I'm tired of cookie banners so I had ChatGPT make a law against it, it used "act" in its version, I search-and-replaced it with "Law" before getting Claude to ratify it. Claude pointed out the search-and-replace replacement, oops. The conversation links are in my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48585778 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48585778 and you can see Claude found these mistakes:
"
At some point an earlier find-and-replace swapped "act" for "Law" and garbled three real words. As written, the text says:
Section 1: "cookie-banner Lawions" — should be actions
Section 3(2)(b): "next ordinary feature update after enLawment" — should be enactment
Section 5(5): "a site-specific Law that the signal cannot satisfy" — should be act (or action)
These aren't stylistic quibbles; "Lawions" landing on the desks of four legal departments would cause real confusion about intent. The fix is a single reverse find-and-replace. With that correction, I'm comfortable signing.
"
It understood what happened correctly.
- rafram 2mo agoI’m having a hard time figuring out if this State of Utopia thing is tongue-in-cheek or serious.

- logicallee 2mo agoit's serious but still a small project, there isn't much on the site. I personally would like the law I linked to be followed. I sent a copy to the major browser makers and left this suggestion: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/comply-with-choose-cookies-once-law-eliminates-cookie-popups/idi-p/129737 https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/comply-with-choose-cook... where it got 1 kudos from a community manager but no other upvotes or comments. The announcement of the law here on HN (linked in my gp comment) got 2 upvotes and no comments. So a couple of people liked the idea, but it's not a big hit.
- rafram 2mo agoI have to be honest, to someone who knows nothing about you, this is all a little concerning.

- logicallee 2mo agook. I'd like to discuss your concerns with you privately for medical privacy reasons, as it could be related to my mental health (which I guess is what you said was concerning about this). - Could you please email me at the email address in my profile? (or add an email to yours.) I have some followup questions about your concerns. Thank you.
