⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

If anyone, I don't care who you are, potential client, current client, past client, opposing party, opposing counsel, I absolutely do not care who you are, sends me AI generated garbage, I will absolutely show you the door.

1. Your cute, little AI generated searches may be discoverable in litigation;

2. Courts are heavily disapproving of AI in the legal system;

3. More often times than not, AI is incorrect. I've personally used AI in the medical context and both times they were wrong, the doctors set me straight; the legal system is no different; and

4. Your AI generated questions are not how things work in reality of the legal world, your AI thereby being a turnoff and completely annoying.

If you know me, I'm always just going to tell you like is, reality. So that is that. Period. Full stop.
