Sadly there are lots of unintelligent people out there who are incapable of taking responsibility for their own actions.

US lawyers keep filing LLM-generated pleadings and refuse to check citations. It's taken state discipline committees a long time to get there, but they're close to figuring out that any option other than prompt disbarment just increases the pain for people who are actually qualified to practice and doesn't noticeably increase the number of practitioners who see the error of their ways.

The ABA will eventually make sure that this behavior is identified in law school and people who don't want to take responsibility for what they file are expelled well before graduation, but in the meantime there are a ton of screwups in the profession and all you can do is kick them when they identify themselves.

  • Microsoft will then bribe the government to abolish this antitrust scheme for lawyers known as "the bar" which anticompetivley prevents AIs from doing law.
