This is a news story about a lawyer who used Chat GPT for legal research and found out that the research was invented, not real legal research. He apologized to the Court. The court has not decided what to do about the invented research. Obviously, the machines will get better at legal research in coming years, but we have to be smart enough to check their work and second guess their conclusions. In a complicated fact setting there is no possibility that Chat GPT will be a match for solid legal work, at least for ten years. Chat GPT may give you an idea or two, but make sure to research the cases yourself and think about the facts before you push submit on a brief.
