Tom Mars, an attorney and friend of LSU head coach Lane Kiffin, revealed that Kiffin used the AI tool ChatGPT to provide legal justification for attempting to add former NFL players Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris to LSU's football roster during a controversy with the SEC. Despite Mars advising against it, Kiffin relied on ChatGPT’s responses, which were often incorrect according to Mars. The attorney eventually advised Kiffin to consult professional lawyers rather than AI for legal matters, emphasizing the inadequacy of using ChatGPT in complex legal situations.
