A multimillion-dollar conspiracy trial that stretched across the worlds of politics and entertainment is now touching on the tech world with arguments that a defense attorney for a Fugees rapper bungled closing arguments by using an artificial intelligence program.

    In my opinion, how good the AI performed is irrelevant. What is is the fact that an AI was used instead of the lawyer.

    If it is proven that the lawyer used what the AI delivered verbatim then it doesn’t matter how good that text was. The client has the right to have a lawyer, not an AI pretending to be a lawyer.

        Autocorrect does single words and you usually review each word. Something like ChatGPT will generate an entire document for you, it’s up to you if you want to verify the correctness of everything in there, which most people don’t.

          Auto correct can also fix sentence structure. You could replace every sentence with their suggestion. So what I’m trying to say is that its about how its used. A lot of people are shocked someone would use it to produce things on their behalf. I’m going the other way and saying if used correctly, what is produced is superior to things produced without it.
