[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never. I hate it, and in my field - law - it notoriously hallucinates. I love to write, am an excellent writer, and write quickly. I love language and sentence composition, so why would I have something do it for me, especially if it will do a poor job. Additionally, for advice to a client, a fair amount of my work is tone and nuance. I am not trusting that to an AI. And then too, sometimes I am not entirely sure of what my view of an issue will be until I write it out. The writing process helps me clarify and retain the information. And since my practice is built on expertise, I need to have that expertise at hand when I walk into a meeting and am asked unexpected questions. Can't do that if I rely on AI.[/quote]

On the other hand, as a client, it's great. I'm a trustee for a relative. A question came up and I fed the trust agreement into chatGPT so I could ask it questions before I met with an actual lawyer. It was terrific as way for me to search and understand that document without knowing the terminology. So I was way better prepared to meet with the lawyer and I was better able to understand the conversation. It's not like I asked it for legal advice. But I did ask it things like "what does the trust agreement say happens if Larla dies before Larlo?" and "what does the trust agreement say about if Larla marries and has a stepchild?" and it was great at directing me to the relevant sections.

This is a really bad thing to do with long documents because often the AI hallucinates if it can’t find anything about Larlo or Larla.  I have found when I ask the AI these kinds of questions I MUST go back and verify it myself.  At work, Adobe has its own AI tool in acrobat that is better for these kinds of questions.[/quote]

This. I’m an attorney and have played around with it a bit to learn more about documents and its accuracy is, generously, poor.

We are being directed to figure out how to incorporate it more at work and it is a challenge. [/quote]

I’m an attorney also and I hear this silliness from others. Attorneys tend to be a risk averse and slow bunch. I’ll remind you that one of the ethical canons we must follow is a duty of competence, including tech competence. You are not showing that. If it’s spitting out continuously poor outputs, that’s because you aren’t spending the time to learn his to use it, and write good prompts. [/quote]
