How ChatGPT will replace lawyers

Most of the cons will be fixed long term. I think you are completely correct on the point about technology adoption, I hate that wet ink signatures are still so prevalent. I really wish technology was embraced quicker by firms and in house teams.

To me, ChatGPT is not yet a reliable legal advice platform. Having said that, it is good for highlighting issues, making very concise explanations of difficult subjects, and, most importantly, ADAPT. I love whenever I use ChatGPT I can correct the AI to make better responses.

In 10-15 years, tech will indeed replace jobs, just that in the legal sector that will be compartmentalised. By that I mean that it can replace facts-only areas, like making a claim against parking tickets.

Thanks for the video! I find interesting that more and more people underline how technology seems more important than ever... maybe too important?

Great video Idin!

Very well put!

Soon enough, I'd expect ChatGPT and/or its competitors to develop tools aimed at large businesses, such that confidentiality could be arranged for. Some law firms in London already use Machine Learning and AI Models (developed in house, or designed for the legal industry) for document review and summarisation. A&O recently launched Harvey.

More broadly, issues such as not citing sources and not being confidential can be overcome in bespoke AI products, which does seem quite likely in the next couple of years.

I'm not a lawyer, but I intuitively disagree. For example, if you can't afford a lawyer and are issued a public defender who has 30 other cases and can only spend 5 minutes with you wouldn't you rather want the AI who understands every detail and nuance of the case, and then uses all case law ever created and diligently checks potential prosecutorial errors to come up with a defense or motion for dismissal? Isn't the ideal for justice to be blind? Should cases be decided by sophisticated nonjudgmental and unbiased algorithms, perhaps with very minor sentence adjustments made by a judge? People are sick of those with money or influence getting preferential treatment.

Good Thanks

Great video! While ChatGPT may not totally replace lawyers, it can certainly help them by providing quick and accurate legal information to assist with their cases.

In the United States of America "It will not give you" any legal advice or legal templates or anything that will the legally help an individual in court. The company has been told by whoever to program the system to not help the people. The People will not be helped at all legally using Chatgpt bcuz this means the People will take the power back & it's a organization of people who don't want this to happen...so chatgpt is limited "On Purpose" & the company knows this....

Good

So, get this. I prompted chatGPT 3.5 with "List five court opinions in which the court pierced the corporate veil and the defendant was a Wyoming LLC." It politely and instantly listed five cases perfectly formatted cases. I asked for five more a few times and noticed a pattern. I searched the list to verify and none of the cases were real. When I asked the forum, an openAI guy helped me understand that chatGPT is not Google search. It also is trained to avoid plagiarism and defaults to non duplicative output. It communicates in human language in all of its forms to include code, what we call music and art, etc.

chatGPT is able to predict the next word because it looks at patterns and then applies the pattern to other situations. In my case, chatGPT thought we were talking and that the blue book citation was language. As I used the prompt, it did not get that court opinions were mental nouns, i.e., objects in the nonmaterial world of human imagination. Rather, it thought we were just chatting about Wyoming LLCs in some sort of poetic rap song in which the format of the citation was akin to iambic pentameter. So, be careful with THAT.

When I went back to it and experimented with the same prompt in 4.0, I made no progress. 4.0 simply refused to engage at all. Clearly, what I tired to prompt was not worthy of the word "prompt." My take-away was that this is not like anything I had experienced in coding or my legal practice. This was a technology that is an independent ... what's the word... "intelligence." When they say AGI within 20 years, they ain't kidding. Some say AGI within five.

Court systems as they function now are going to become completely obsolete in the next decade. AI democratizing legal access and resources for the many to represent themselves both in civil and criminal matters will be revolutionary. What happens to case loads if an AI with access to all cases in history can analyze documents, create strategies and write my own pleadings, motions etc. in perfect accordance with court rules and file them electronically? The wealthy and government, who can grind down opponents who can't afford representation, might not have that advantage in the future. I think this will cause an explosion in case loads from Pro Se parties and overwhelm the system. As an example, go to traffic court and you will find 80% of the people plea guilty like good little sardines. Imagine that for every traffic ticket issued, there was a AI Lawyer and coach that could draft a plan for the defendant to incur the highest possible expense incurred by the state. They automatically file for trial by written declaration, enter a not guilty plea, file discovery requests, write motions and then every appeal possible if they lose. Reverse grind down. Beautiful chaos.

I have a question if a defendant goes to trial for murder and attempt murder the state ask for a lesser included offense and the state gets it in on the jury verdict form it says murder not guilty or guilty attempt murder not guilty or guilty plea voluntary manslaughter not guilty or guilty plea the defendant was found not guilty on murder and attempt murder but the jury check the guilty plea box beside voluntary manslaughter how does that effect the defendant

Great video! I'm an immigration attorney and started using chatGPT to help get my research started. So far so good. Quick question, I liked you globe lamp in the background. Can you tell me the size of the lamp? Circumference?

I think future improvements on ChatGPT4 or even 5 will be pretty badass for everyday people who can't afford to drop thousands on a Lawyer. It could replace them or force Lawyers to reduce their costs significantly to keep up with AI.

Maybe AI is not yet ready to replace lawyers, but it should replace judges right now!

But, on a serious note, in my profession Chat GPT is a hit-aind-miss, sometimes I do get great help and sometimes its answers are full of mistakes. I suppose in the legal field it may be the same.

Great video and I agree with your points- valid.

Slightly off the point, but I'm interested in your opinion. I believe that arguments that AI shall posess judgement ability in law etc. are flawed. AI has no issues with uncertainty due to it's lack of conscience. It thus unavoidably leaves out a whole range key elements when making a decision. Being effective and quick is not the same as having a judgement ability. Also, while no one is saying that AI won't be able to tackle very complex law decisions. We're merey pointing out that law isn't "mathematics". Legal practice rests on the ability to convince other human beings, since there is virtually no objectivity in law. This leaves room for a whole spectrum of capabilities which AI will never posess.

ChatGPT is still missing an important feature for legal research.
It shall be able to limit/ground its reasoning to specific set of case law.
Similar to the upcoming Google tailwind.

Lawyers are for the rich ppl for these days anyway. Hopefully, this AI technology could help ppl who couldn't afford a lawyer for their trials.

In theory lawyers should be helping their clients. In reality due to complexity of legal process and laws, the lawyers can blind their clients and scam as much money as they can (from my personal experience).
These legal info should be made easy to access and understand for everyone so they will not be taken advantage by those greedy unethical legal professionals (who are no different from thieves and robbers), at least for common civic cases such as insurance claims, divorce...etc.
Wish one day it could be a complete replacement.

Already bad ai-generated case law is making its way into courtrooms..

Hi Idin!! Plsss can you share tips on how to perform well on the TC!!!!

hey man thanks so much! I can now cheat on my law school exams with ChatGDP. I know many law school exams are proctored with that examsoft... no problem... all you need to do is have a second PC or laptop handy and you can easily just type up the fact pattern of the law school exam into chatgdp and it will analyze it for you and you can pass! I love your videos, keep up the good work Idin Sabahipour ❤

Being lawyers practice in the art of obfuscatiion are obligated to represent clear criminals by playing emotional arguments and inserting illogic, the number of lawyers needed is going to be a small percentage of what is current practice. Clerks are toast. Next, eliminate jury trials and do statistical liklihoods of guilt or innocence.

I trust ChatGPT over human attorneys. Human attorneys seem more concerned with profit over justice, AI removes this bias.
