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 The company I work for trialled several AIs (glorified predictive text generators) for software development. They hallucinated, would often break one thing to fix another, made things up when they didn't know the answer, and used old, outdated concepts. We've now banned AI on all client projects.
