OpenAI hit with lawsuit claiming ChatGPT acted as an unlicensed lawyer (opens in new tab)

The point is not forbidding discussion. Advice on important matters that may have serious legal or medical implications should be done by professionals who can be held accountable for their behavior, not sentence generators hosted by mostly unaccountable tech companies (which may be in another jurisdiction altogether).

Information is not siloed away by requiring license for legal or medical advice. It’s not like someone is hiding law codes or whatever.

Nippon is a company that can afford that.

I'm a bit sus that they can bring OpenAI into this given this is just one woman using ChatGPT to generate terrible legal submissions. The ToS will be important here, but one can liken this to trying to bring the car manufacturer into a lawsuit over a car crash.

As far as I'm aware, OpenAI is not selling any legal products.

The largest lawfirms are happy to take on cases like this even if they don’t expect a win. The number of billable hours it will generate for them is very high.

Who will win?

An army of lawyers, or one dice-rolly boi?
