If you look at LinkedIn, it seems like the answer to every problem is “just plug it into ChatGPT.” But I recently faced a project where “just plugging it in” would have been a disaster. I was tasked with a Proof of Concept (PoC) to perform deep data analysis on 1,000 Wills, with a goal to eventually process 100,000. In the legal world, accuracy isn’t just a goal; it’s a requirement. If an AI “hallucinates” the name of a beneficiary or misses a guardianship clause, it’s not just a bug - it’s a legal nightmare.
