AI not writing legal briefs for you is a feature, not a bug. There's been so many disaster instances of lawyers using ChatGPT to write briefs which it then hallucinates case law or precedent for that I can only imagine Google wants to sidestep that entirely.

Anyway I found your response itself a bit incomprehensible so I asked Gemini to rewrite it:

"Google AI refused to help write an appeal brief response to my ex-wife's 7-point argument, likely due to its legal-risk aversion (billions in past fines). Newcomer ChatGPT provided a decent response instead, which led to the ex losing her appeal (saving $18k–$35k in lawyer fees)."

Not bad, actually.

I haven't mentioned anything about hallucinations. ChatGPT was solid on writing underlying logic, but to find caselaw I used Vincent AI (offers 2 weeks free, then $350 per month - still cheaper than cheapest appellant lawyer and I was managed to fit my response in 10 days).

That's fine, so Google sidestep it and ChatGPT did not. What point are you trying to make?

Sure I skip AI entirely, when can we meet so you hand me $35,000 check for attorney fees.
