Welcome, humans.

Congrats to z*********@gmail.com for winning a ChatGPT+ subscription for filling out our survey. BTW, here are some of the results: 37% of Neuron readers are female, 46% have a Master’s/Ph.D., and 4.6% are students!

Here’s what you need to know about AI today:

• Michael Cohen gave his lawyer fake AI legal cases (LOL).

• Our guide to navigating OpenAI’s offerings.

• Chief Justice Roberts released his thoughts on AI’s role in law.

• xAI incorporated as a “for-profit benefit corporation” in Nevada.

AI can democratize legal access, but use it with caution, says Chief Justice Roberts.

Our advice of the day? Don’t be like this guy ^.

• Name: Michael Cohen.

• Claim-to-fame: Donald Trump’s fixer.

• AI knowledge: non-existent.

Mr. Cohen handed his lawyer fake legal citations sourced from Bard (no surprise here), which were then presented to a federal judge. A federal judge!

Blindly trusting chatbots, which can hallucinate and cite bogus cases, is precisely how AI shouldn’t be used in a court of law, according to Chief Justice John Roberts’ EOY Report.

Yet, AI still has an important role in law, specifically “for those who cannot afford a lawyer”, Roberts noted. It can help with basic procedural stuff like filling out templates and court forms.

IMO, as tech companies inch closer to bringing hallucinations to near-zero (contacts tell us some are close), we expect chatbots to take on a far more significant role in lawyers’ day-to-day. Think drafting, reviewing documents, contracts, and more.

One legal startup we’re excited about is Harvey, which just bagged an $80M Series B and is already streamlining operations for major law firms with AI.

We’re just itching to see Mike Ross from "Suits" in a legal trivia face-off with GPT-4!

Guide to choosing the right version of ChatGPT.

One year ago, all we had was plain ‘ol ChatGPT-3. Life was simple back then.

Fast forward, and today there’s a smorgasbord of options: ChatGPT Plus, Enterprise, Azure OpenAI, Bing Chat, and even Custom Models.

So, which should YOU be using? Our lawyer-y answer: it depends. 

Stick with free ChatGPT-3.5 Turbo if you’re a casual AI user (think 1-2x per week). If you’re strapped for cash, you can use ChatGPT-4 for free with Bing Chat. 

If AI is part of your daily work grind, purchase ChatGPT Plus at $20/month. The beefed-up model (GPT-4 Turbo and soon GPT-4.5) comes with DALL-E 3, Advanced Data Analysis, web browsing, GPTs & more.

Use ChatGPT Enterprise if you’re a mid to large-sized company wanting universal ChatGPT-4 access for employees AND legit data security. 

(we recommend using Azure’s OpenAI Service if your business lives inside Microsoft). 

And if you’re a big-ass company that needs custom-tailored GPT-4 models for specific areas like financial data, OpenAI Custom Models are your answer—that’s if you've got at least $2-3M to spare...

Lastly, do your colleagues a solid and pass this link along! 😉🚀🤖
