OpenAI "accused" of practicing law without a license in civil lawsuit

OpenAI (the makers of Chat GPT) has been accused of practicing law without a license in a lawsuit brought by Nippon Life Insurance Co. of America.  

The lawsuit alleges that, after agreeing to a settlement with Nippon, the defendant asked ChatGPT for a second opinion and used its response to fire her attorney and attempt to challenge the settlement herself. She asked ChatGPT to generate proposed legal arguments and documents, which she used in a motion seeking to reopen the case.  Nippon argues that urged by ChatGPT, the defendant filed dozens of motions that “serve no legitimate legal or procedural purpose."

The ABA Journal has the story here.
