An AI lawyer was set to argue in court – real lawyers shut it down
This company is either run by someone who doesn&#x27;t understand the tech or is willfully fraudulent. ChatGPT and company are far from good enough to be entrusted with law. Having interacted extensively with modern LLMs, I absolutely <i>know</i> something like this would happen:<p>&gt; Defendant (as dictated by AI): The Supreme Court ruled in Johnson v. Smith in 1978...<p>&gt; Judge: There was no case Johnson v. Smith in 1978.<p>LLMs hallucinate, and there is absolutely no space for hallucination in a court of law. The legal profession is perhaps the closest one to computer programming, and <i>absolute</i> precision is required, not a just-barely-good-enough statistical machine.
