Artificial intelligence (AI) is the capability of computational systems to perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making.
It's why public internet polls are more for fun/validating confirmation bias than actually gleaning actionable statistical insight, and why no one does them anymore. In this particular instance, the presentation and call-to-action rules out the "fun" angle of the poll.
The legal profession in England and Wales has entered uncharted territory. In a stark warning delivered by the High Court in June 2025, senior judges condemned the misuse of artificial intelligence tools by solicitors and barristers who submitted fake legal authorities in court.
The root cause has been the explosion of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, being used without proper validation. Unlike legal databases, these models do not retrieve verifiable case law. They generate plausible-sounding text based on probability. As the court warned, they “may cite sources that do not exist… [and] purport to quote passages from a genuine source that do not appear in that source.”
It certainly does, but that's not guaranteed with humans either. Nor is it the only factor that matters. It's a cost benefit tradeoff. If I am on trial for a crime, obviously I will pay for the quality. If I want to know what some language in a simple contract means, I will ask a LLM.
