Lawyers are making laws protecting lawyers. More seriously, I think part of the issue is people take AI responses very seriously, because it is almost always right about non-nuanced material. So even if it has the disclaimer at the end to talk to a professional, they might forgo that if the answer looks professional enough (such as quoting possibly non-existent statutes, etc.). This issue gets compounded if the person who is prompting it doesn't know the material, is accidentally misframing the question, or not giving it key information that completely changes the scenario. Even in your example, what if the person neglected to say that the raise was two months ago, and they already signed a lease agreeing to the raise? Getting into the weeds of topics like law and medicine can be hard, and both have major consequences when an answer is wrong.

For engineering (assuming it means civil engineering), that should already be illegal, unless the person who is using the AI is an engineer. Hopefully people aren't building structures with ChatGPT as their staff engineer.
