[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm also a lawyer and have seen the results of AI work and seen Lexis demos and it's absolutely not there.

The hallucinations are still a major problem of course.[/quote]

You are missing out and don’t even know it [/quote]

DP. I went to a training on the different AI legal research tools and the presenter told us flat-out to never put the results into our briefs - they are for "idea generation" only - and that the only way to deal with hallucination is to not use the product in any of my real output.

There are some legal research situations where idea generation is helpful, but those are not worth the amount of time and money people are pouring into AI.[/quote]

I am a lawyer in a field where AI is essential or else my company will be left behind. We are using it in many ways, both back end and front end. The capabilities are enormous.

Sorry, but these presenters aren’t the last word on AI. If you’re using AI in a public facing doc, of course you need to carefully check all citations, AI is known to hallucinate, but that doesn’t mean you walk away from a tool like this. [/quote]

I would love to hear what it does for you, as a lawyer, besides write emails and make powerpoints. I am not against useful tools, I just have not seen this tool do much that is useful. Certainly not anything worth the amount of pressure we are getting to use it. It feels like I'm being told to figure out a way to use AI just so that we can say we use AI.[/quote]

Sure. The people in the core business of my company - which is consumer facing- use it a lot. Obviously with many checks and balances. I’m a lawyer in a very tech heavy space. It is transformative as you might imagine.

But for my more mundane lawyer tasks, I use it to create quick summaries and action items from meetings. I use it to help craft longer emails. Have you ever been added to a long email chain and been too tired to try to untangle the back and forth? Dump it into chat, and it will synthesize it for you. If I want a quick summary of a long agreement before a meeting, I’ll paste it in and get a response in 10 seconds. I want to compare terms in two agreements. Put both in and it will respond in seconds. Sometimes I have to tweak and get it to focus more on the issues I care about, but it does a remarkably good job for the most part. It is also surprisingly good at tech jargon- I guess that makes sense now that I think about it - and can provide me a quick summary of industry standards in say, supply side ad technology, as one example.  I don’t typically litigate but I asked it to draft a motion for something I needed in a pro bono case and it did a good job, although I did have to correct citations which is a known issue.

If I was a law firm lawyer, I’d be worried. There are still things that I need a specialist for, but there is a lot before that I can now ask ChatGPT to do.
