“If a user prompts ChatGPT to summarize a copyrighted book, it will do so,” the suit claims.

    If they first don’t get fired for using ChatGPT and not double-checking the results.

      That’s ironical

      Are you saying that, technically, chatgpt is constructing legal cases against itself?

        No, I’m saying this already actually happened. Some lawyer or paralegal used ChatGPT for a court case, and it referenced non-existent cases.

          They got off surprisingly easy for doing so, too: https://www.reuters.com/legal/new-york-lawyers-sanctioned-using-fake-chatgpt-cases-legal-brief-2023-06-22/. The $5k they were fined amounts to roughly 14 billable hours if they’re at the NY average of $357 an hour https://www.attorneyatwork.com/solo-and-small-firm-lawyer-hourly-rates/#h-the-top-10-states-for-lawyer-hourly-rates.

          Sorry, I was trying to make a joke, but didn’t work well, apparently.

          By the way, I’ve heard about that case. It was very interesting to see how people are trying to use chatgpt, despite all warnings that it can provide false data.
