ALWD folks who are thinking about and experimenting with AI: thoughts? Perhaps for complex matters AND ALSO FOR STUDENTS it's best to bring AI tools into the equation later in the writing process?
This announcement may be interesting to leaders in legal writing education who are considering what could, should, and will change with the rapid development of accessible generative AI tools.
