The Rise and Reception of Large Language Models in the Legal Industry

Large language models like GPT have gained popularity in the legal profession and are seen as game-changers. However, just like the initial reception of technology-assisted review (TAR) in electronic discovery, there has been some hesitation in fully embracing these models. Lawyers have expressed concerns about the technology and potential acceptance within the legal industry, leading to a continued reliance on traditional methods. While large language models have been more wholeheartedly embraced than TAR, there have been challenges and issues such as false case citations and inaccurate information. Overall, there is recognition of the potential of large language models but also a need for further development and refinement.
