GPT can help creating legal documents, in a very easy and quick way, by everyone, a small child or a plumber. Lawyers in general try to stifle competition in order for their salaries to go sky high. So what's the profession of a lawmaker, most of the time?
They wouldn't, but there is a way to figure some stuff out. A person with no experience in the subject, could hire someone else, who has some knowledge and knows how to find his way into the laws, a lot cheaper than a lawyer.
Then this person will generate a legal document, which is eighty to ninety percent already there. The next step is to correct that remaining 10% of the document and you are good to go. Instead of paying 1000$ to a lawyer for legal fees, you paid 50 or a 100 bucks and the quality is the same, if not better. Specialized tools for that purpose are created as well, ai-lawyer or something like that.
With a real lawyer almost all the time what they tell me will be legally correct, so if I don't know how to recognize when something is not legally correct that will almost never hurt me.
From what I've seen of people's posts of ChatGPT output it is much more likely to provide incorrect legal advice, and so using it without having a way to recognize incorrect legal advice is much more likely to hurt me.
