I was using Bing to create a list of countries to visit. Since I have been to the majority of the African nation on that list, I asked it to remove the african countries...

It simply replied that it can't do that due to how unethical it is to descriminate against people and yada yada yada. I explained my resoning, it apologized, and came back with the same exact list.

I asked it to check the list as it didn't remove the african countries, and the bot simply decided to end the conversation. No matter how many times I tried it would always experience a hiccup because of some ethical process in the bg messing up its answers.

It's really frustrating, I dunno if you guys feel the same. I really feel the bots became waaaay too tip-toey

Are you saying I shouldn't use chat GPT for my life as a lawyer? ๐Ÿค”

Think of all the cases you can find s to establish precedent!

It can be useful for top-level queries that deal with well-settled law, as a tool to point you in the right direction with your research.

For example, once, I couldn't recall all the various sentencing factors in my state. ChatGPT was able to spit out a list to refresh my memory, which gave me the right phrases to search on Lexis.

But, when I asked GPT to give me cases, it gave me a list of completely made up bullshit.

So, to get you started, it can be useful. But for the bulk of the research? Absolutely not.

I disagree. It's a large language model so all it can do is say things that sound like what someone might say. It's trained on public content, including people giving wrong answers or refusing to answer.
