I do not use AI in my legal work.

Some of my clients use AI.

I saw an AI output this morning, purporting to give information about data protection law (whether an IP address is personal data).

It included two cases, which do not exist. It did not include any case law which does exist. It gave no warning that the output was fiction.

Even if they can get over the ethical concerns (which, currently, I cannot), it would be cheaper, probably more fun, and no less inaccurate to ask a passing toddler.

@neil I would ask my six year old any legal questions you have for half the price of a chatgpt subscription.

@Scmbradley @neil I would love some legal advice from your six year old on something. Last weekend I participated in a tea party with my niece and a few of her dolls. Out of nowhere she threw a cup of boiling hot imaginary tea all over me, giving my imaginary burns. I had to have a doctor (who looked suspiciously like my niece) put a bandage on my head. Do I have grounds to sue?

@manchestermelly @Scmbradley

There are some genuinely fascinating parallels there with interactions in online worlds, and the extent to which offences against a person can apply in an online environment.

This book is now a little dated, but it is well worth reading:

@manchestermelly @neil I'll check with the boss, but my view is that you do have grounds, but the presiding judge would look a lot like your niece.
