That's the exact opposite of the scenario you previously described, as you were previously saying people could get better defences not getting better prosecutions.

I'm not legally trained so this might just be Hollywood logic, but doesn't re-prosecuting someone require a court case with new evidence?

Anyway…

No, it's a "you're hiring at contractor rates" problem.

Just as Stable Diffusion is giving a hard time to professional artists who earn at contractor rates by producing "it might not be amazing but it's certainly not bad" art for a dozen images per cent of electricity, ChatGPT is giving "it might BS me 5-20% of the time depending on the subject, but it's still better than I know" responses on basically everything.

It can't do every job at an expert level yet, but it's better than almost everyone's baseline for the skills they are non-expert at. (No idea how long it will take to get to superhuman even just for law, and I was over-optimistic about self-driving car AI, but we shall see).
