- In November 2022, the practice of law underwent a fundamental transition with the release by OpenAI of its chatbot ChatGPT. Everywhere you look today, you are bombarded with a plethora of articles about and advertisements for ChatGPT, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative AI, and Large Language Models (LLM) boasting about all they can do for you and your practice. It is touted, as the old saying goes, as the greatest thing since sliced bread. ChatGPT-4 can pass the Bar exam, as well as the Multistate Professional Responsibility exam. It can make poor and mediocre law students better legal writers, but paradoxically can bring down the quality of better student legal writers., AI - USE WITH CAUTION, The Journal of the Litigation Section of the California Lawyers Association, 2024
