Not for outward-facing stuff. Currently investigating options for inward-facing work product.

if youre using ai with out checking the sources, youre a dumbass and deserve the consequences. Need to treat it as a law clerk or first year associate ( or 1st year whatever your profession) and double check everything.

I heard a college football podcast cite AI for how far Louisiana Tech was from other Sun Belt school. It said Lafayette was 4 hours and Little Rock was 3.5

What aspects of the practice?

I’m keeping my eyes open on this side.

Not sure why anyone would use it to search for cases. I’ve put statutes in google sometimes just to copy the text, and I’ve notice the ai regurgitation is incorrect.

Commercial AI sucks in my experience as of today. Maybe it’ll get better quickly, but as of now it’s just an aggregator of what’s living on the internet. 75% of which is wrong

Yes, Vincent AI is pretty good for summarizing contracts and comparing revisions. It’s the only AI platform that we’re allowed to use with proprietary documents.

Sometimes. But as a stepping off point only. Its conclusions in my area of law are wrong over half the time and will change if I slightly change the prompt. Highly unreliable.

Crazy people do stuff like cite cases with it.

Medical chronologies and summaries

Medical bill accumulation

Answering and propounding discovery

Demands and other pleadings that don’t involve legal argument (witness and exhibit lists, Rule 26a2c reports, etc.)

Yes, but mostly as a first step in contract review and we create our own playbooks from which the data is pulled, so it's not using random shite it finds on the internet.

We do have some machine learning and OCR “ai” that we use that works pretty well, but that’s not really ai, they just put that buzzword moniker on any technology now

I do but not for research.

Broke a Lexis rep's heart yesterday explaining why.

I also have an AI addendum for my contracts, for ethical reasons.

He was probably tired of listening to you and perhaps you made him constipated.

Idiots are getting burned around the country for citing cases in their briefs that don't even exist!

Imagine how much fun you'd have looking at case that sounds bad for you and finding out there is no such case!

Had some colleagues in a big firm just get publicly dressed down and sanctioned by a federal judge for including AI hallucinations in a motion. Good attorneys. At least one of which is a really good dude. Terrible and careless mistake you would never have thought this attorney would make.
