Legal AI vs. ChatGPT: What Makes Them Different?
The commercial launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 touched off a global frenzy of excitement — and consternation — about the new technology known as generative artificial intelligence (AI).
We all learned quickly that generative AI tools represent an entirely new area of innovation because this technology is designed to actually create new content in the form of images, text, audio and more. Since the introduction of ChatGPT, we have seen other open web generative AI tools rolled out by Google (Bard), Microsoft (Bing Chat) and other tech giants.
These general-purpose generative AI tools have attracted such extraordinary interest because they are free to use, fairly easy to operate and are capable of generating content that serves very practical purposes — such as drafting emails, finding answers to a wide variety of search queries and summarizing lengthy documents.
Unfortunately, anyone who has put ChatGPT or another open web generative AI tool to the test has learned that this exciting new technology comes with some major risks.
