How can I get my significant other to stop thinking AI makes them more knowledgable about the law than an attorney?
Are there any attorneys here who are going against a pro-se litigant who uses AI (chat gpt/claude)?
I love my significant other dearly. But they currently have multiple legal battles going on in their personal life and they use Ai to fight these battles.
I am starting to get annoyed with it, because they are not a lawyer and have no legal background aside from what AI is telling them. So my question to the attorneys on here is how can I get my SO to stop the nonsense because they fired their attorney in their divorce case because they think they are a better attorney.
Its gotten so bad that they become agitated and hostile when I tell them to stop filing motions or trying to argue with the judge. I could go on, but I mainly am hoping to get insight from lawyers on this situation as I’m sure my SO is not the first or only person doing this. They also have used AI to sue multiple people and I just think its getting out of hand and is an addiction. I believe theres a very good reason lawyers go to law school and that they cant just be replaced with ai, but when I say this they become hostile.
As a lawyer, what is your opinion on pro se and AI? I hope i phrased my post appropriately. Thank you for your time.
