Let me share a story about this from one of our customers.

My customer asked me about writing a smart contract but we did not had the capacity to handle it.

A few days after that, my customer gets back to me sharing a basic smart contract he managed to create using ChatGPT, since them, my customer has kept iterating over this, it took him a few weeks to get the functionality he wanted.

My customer explained to me that ChatGPT usually got the wrong details but he used to came back and explain the problems to ChatGPT, ChatGPT proposed many solutions until one of them was the correct fix.

Overall, my customer is very happy with this experience, he sees ChatGPT as a personal teacher, my customer is know very motivated to keep learning programming.

While I haven't been affected negatively, I'm sure that we'll hear more stories like this one.

Recently I was writing a small, simple contract and they lawyer I usually ask to draft was busy. I generated it using chatGPT in around and then forwarded it to the lawyer to review. Came back with only minor addition.

The prompting took around 3 mins, was in english and the outputted contract was in Indonesian by request. Not a replacement for a lawyer, but it does a great job at boilerplate.
