Early concerns about such tools were focused on the outputs: hallucinated citations, fabricated case law, overall sloppiness among attorneys and researchers submitting AI-generated work without review. These problems have not disappeared but have received enough attention to warrant continuous improvement of predictive and generative tools for accuracy.
