It's an American statement, but it's also a professional statement. A lawyer is responsible for what they submit to the court in every legal system I'm aware of. An English judge isn't going to be forgiving of a lawyer who references cases that don't exist because that person didn't understand how ChatGPT works. The examples I cited aren't of average people believing dumb stuff that ChatGPT tells them (because I think we've seen very little harm caused by that) - they're cases in which someone used a tool they didn't understand in their work. It's fairly universal that when you're hired to do a job, you're expected to do so competently, and using tools you don't understand for your job is not doing it competently.
