📢 OpenAI sued after ChatGPT allegedly acted like a lawyer

A strange legal battle is unfolding in the U.S. Nippon Life Insurance Company of America has sued OpenAI, claiming ChatGPT effectively acted as an unlicensed lawyer and helped flood a federal court with useless filings.

Here’s what happened:

• A woman had already settled a disability lawsuit with Nippon Life in 2024.
• Later, she uploaded an email from her lawyer into ChatGPT asking for advice.
• According to the lawsuit, the AI validated her doubts about her attorney, so she fired the lawyer.

From there things escalated. Usin
