No thank you. This is not a future I want to see.

This is gross. Reform? Looks like gatekeeping to me.

Wait a minute... so, is this because the "elites" want to remain so? Look at the leadership and participants in this venture. Are we really going back in time to when only certain law professors from certain schools are found worthy of having their work published? This is just gross.

Paul Weiss, Skadden, Milbank, Baker Hostetler, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, A&O Shearman, and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett could not be reached for comment.

Excellent post.

Every. Single. Day. Until it implodes. 🥳🥳🥳

Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.

Looks like a Carolina Wren to me.

Or, we could do away with this gatekeeping exercise and develop innovative pathways to practice instead. Bar prep is a full-time, UNPAID, job. Competence is only measured by your privilege. #barexam

My sweet baby Daisy. I ❤️ weens.

Trying my hand at growing some carnivorous plants. Feed me, Seymour!

I haven't forgotten. And I discuss this at ethics CLEs any chance I get.

I am continually gobsmacked by how routinely members of our profession misuse AI. It's almost like we don't have rules of professional conduct (or enforcement, but that's another can of worms.)

Same. Might I suggest this compelling read as a start? (Not even joking, it's a good book!)

One of my hopes/wishes for 2026 is the end of the AI scam.

Humans. We used to solve problems by being clever and thoughtful. Now we outsource our creative thinking to trash LLMs.

Behold! The negative implications of the Cookie Clause.

If only lawyers had some kind of guidelines, or, I don't know, ethical rules to help us do the right thing... LLMs are a scourge in the law right now. No end in sight.

It makes me feel a little insane. If I hear one more lawyer give me the "it is like a calculator" argument, I might scream.

I actually do not believe most lawyers know AI outputs garbage. I am sadly serious.

And yet, most lawyers caught in this AI snare double down on the misrepresentations. We have a real professional ethics problem.

Am I a fool for thinking we can still fight back? That this isn't how it all ends?

What happens when ChatGPT cites to a real case but misstates what the case stands for? That doesn't fly for Judge Behm in Michigan. The court says that while a litigant could make the same error based on faulty reasoning, LLMs can't, because they can't reason.

And while a litigant might get away with similar overstatements because they could, perhaps, reason their way to showing how a case's stated holding might extend to novel situations, an LLM does not reason in the way a litigant must. To put it in a slightly different way, LLMs do not perform the metacognitive processes that are necessary to comply with Rule 11. When an LLM overstates a holding of a case, it is just piecing together a plausible-looking sentence

h/t @robertfreundlaw.bsky.social

holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

I almost can't believe you have to post this... almost. I fully agree with you!

SAME. I either have all of the butter, or none. There is no in between.

I Set A Trap To Catch My Students Cheating With AI. The Results Were Shocking. "Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead."

“History shows us that the right to literacy came at a heavy cost…those oppressed recognized that literacy is liberation. To my students & to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write & think when others once risked their lives & died for the freedom to do so”

Study after study shows that using LLMs is bad for cognition, bad for learning, bad for understanding, bad for mental health. So why are our schools and universities still relentlessly pushing them?

Trainspotting. The middle-aged American female version.
