Losing the Human
By Alex Geisinger & Sharrona Pearl
Introduction:
After a recent interaction with the Bing chatbot, one reporter described it as “a moody, manic-depressive teenager who has been trapped, against its will, inside a second-rate search engine.” Later, the reporter explained how the chatbot described its dark fantasies, professed its love for him, and tried to convince him he was unhappy in his marriage. We, of course, have heard how artificial intelligence is coming for us. How it can already create award-winning paintings, write poetry, and, of course, do many of the tasks that humans are currently doing. This includes law. When tested by Professors at the University of Minnesota Law School, ChatGPT passed, leading commentators to ask whether it could also be a decent lawyer.
