I think the AI Law Librarians blog might grow on me. My favorite current post? Sarah Gotschall‘s article Move Over Law Professors? AI Likes to Write Law Review Articles Too! She gives an AI-generated law review article a passing grade.
Gotschall walks readers through the process of guiding an AI chatbot (“Claude“) through the process of developing an article. She provides the prompting practices she uses:
- Being polite and encouraging.
- Allowing ample time for the model to process information.
- Structuring inquiries in a sequential manner to enhance analysis and promote chain of thought reasoning.
- Supplying extensive, and sometimes seemingly excessive, background info and context.
Here’s an example of Gotschall’s approach to being polite and encouraging:
Great you’re really good at following instructions! You’re also really good at creating outlines of law review articles. Now that you understand the topic and thesis, please use the information uploaded in the article and generate a detailed outline for the law review. You can get an idea of how law review articles are written and organized by analyzing the law reviews in the files that I’ve uploaded.
