OpenAI Calms Nervous World: ChatGPT Is NOT a Lawyer

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I cover a recent court case leading to OpenAI having to clarify that ChatGPT is not a lawyer.

Highlights

00:10 — There has been confusion about what OpenAI's core product, ChatGPT, is and isn't, particularly in a recent court case. OpenAI clarified that ChatGPT is not a lawyer after an individual used the AI tool to build her case and would cite it as a source.

01:30 — In its motion for dismissal, ChatGPT had to very specifically note that it's not a lawyer, it is not a person, and it does not practice law. OpenAI defined ChatGPT as a set of rules and words that help people understand what's going on around them.

02:30 — One of the world's most technologically advanced companies and innovators had to spell this out in court. There is a fair amount of humor to be found in this.

03:00 — To quote Pogo, "We have met the enemy, and it is us." Humans should be rightly proud of the tech innovations and AI advances emerging. However, there's always going to be this goofiness out on the fringes where things have to be spelled out.
