Mark Wickersham warns against treating AI as a replacement for professional judgment. He walks through an example where an AI-generated IP valuation plan needed targeted follow-ups and source citations, then shows how to push back when AI goes off track.
We should be treating AI as a tool to accelerate and not replace us. That means you need to add your own professional judgment. If for example you create a report for a client, make sure you read it first and use your judgment. I was using it to create a complete action plan for valuing IP in a business and it did a really good job. But a couple of things it gave me in the advice I was thinking I'm not 100% sure that's right. So I would then ask a more detailed question about that little bit of the advice and I would specifically ask it to use its search facility and cite the sources. What I found was that it wasn't necessarily wrong with the advice but there was a better route and once I'd steered in the right direction it then said yes, this would be a better way of doing it. So please do not blindly rely on ChatGPT. Review the outputs, refine the outputs, that's really important.
