Do you know how difficult and costly it is to sue an attorney for malpractice?
Yes. But this option still exists in addition to reputation which I mentioned.
With AI models this option does not exist. I can't sue OpenAI because the contract that I got ChatGPT to draft carelessly exposes me to some type of financial loss. I can't contact the state bar and have Open AI banned from drafting up contracts or doing any other work that lawyers are licenced to perform. Even if I could it would not compare to a lawyer loosing their license to practice for life. If I tell a friend or acquaintance about my negative experience they will still likely use OpenAI for professional work and chalk up my experience to a skill issue or premature use of the technology.
Also note the use of the word "professionals". I was referring to doctors, engineers, accountants etc too.
