If they were able to be tricked by ChatGPT, they are definitely not good at being lawyers. Trying to blame the AI is like trying to blame MS Word for offering an inappropriate homonym when spell checking. The computer did not put the citations in front of the judge.

They should ask themselves why we should pay for lawyers at all if we can ask ChatGPT the same things and get answers of the same quality.

  So there are some bad lawyers therefore all lawyers are useless?

    No, I'm saying if they think that it's to blame for wrong info and not themselves, then why should anyone pay for a lawyer instead of asking ChatGPT on their own?

  These dudes are getting in trouble specifically for the shit answers spat out of chatGPT. Or yeah you could just yolo your freedom away and represent yourself using a mathematical expression with zero motivations, perception, or emotion.

    You missed what I was saying (or I communicated it poorly). I'm not suggesting people use ChatGPT for their lawyer. They're saying it's ChatGPT's fault that they provided wrong info. If they provide no value (no liability for the service provided, and no filtering/vetting of ChatGPT answers from their lawyer expertise), then why would people pay their fee?

      Oh I see. Yeah 100% agree the people in the article are garbage lawyers.

  From the sounds of the quality of ChatGPT's legal skills, you might be better off representing yourself.

The joke is, the judge even pointed out the citations they got from ChatGPT literally made no sense. Basically one quote went from describing an wrongful death to a legal claim over an airline ticket. It's an understatement to describe them as "not good lawyers". They basically never ever read their own court filings.

  Yeah, they just defrauded their clients and billed arm and leg. Ironically I believe and hope that laywers for the most part get soon automated away by machines because legal language is different to human language.
