Humans make mistakes too. In many cases, more often than LLMs. Humans are still useful for doing work.

I use AI extensively in my legal work. But I check every citation myself, manually. That means that I read the entirety of every case that I plan to cite in my output, and I check on Westlaw that it hasn't been overridden by a later decision. If you're just producing the AI's output verbatim, then you have only yourself to blame when things go wrong in the courtroom.

Maybe you check every citation, but there have been several news stories recently of lawyers using LLMs and using completely fabricated cases without verifying they exist

Agreed, but that's the fault of the lawyer, not the LLM.
