Lawyers Warn: LLMs are Flawed for Direct Legislative Drafting
gleech · x · 2026-08-15
Discussing the use of LLMs for legal drafting, insiders point out that even frontier models produce flawed drafts (e.g., under-specification) via naive prompting. While LLMs are useful for auxiliary tasks like finding cases and proofreading, relying on them for direct legislative drafting risks generating low-quality volume. The focus should be on increasing the quality of legislation, not the volume of crap.
