People trust legal advice generated by ChatGPT more than a lawyer

It is suggested that again this is an effect of training towards "sounding well" as opposed to alethics.

The results in an image: https://dl.acm.org/cms/10.1145/3706598.3713470/asset/95dbaf8...

--

From the actual paper ( https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3706598.3713470 ):

> We used ChatGPT-4o to generate the LLM-generated prompts, while UK-based lawyers generated the lawyer-generated advice

It would have been nice to also have layers assess the LLM output...

bufferoverflow•9mo ago
Would be good to know if ChatGPT is better or worse than an average lawyer. I'd bet when it comes to a bit more obscure law knowledge, it's unbeatable.
treetalker•9mo ago
Not a chance at the moment, and not for the future as far as I can see it.

I commented on a similar point in a duplicate post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43819389

Perhaps the mods could combine the dupes.

A man who [uses the stochastic average of the publicly-accessible Internet as his] lawyer has a [future convict] for a client.
