Why you think that LLM-generated legal advise is worth posting on forum for humans?


It is for inserting a copyright notice in the files, I will use a for loop and sed for it though. I'm old school. :P

Can you quote which part of the LLM chat above constitutes legal advice? I read the whole chat and didn't see any.


for reference this was the chat that allegedly contained legal advice: https://chatgpt.com/share/6806382f-7944-800f-95aa-8c77027623...


It does not. It simply discusses ways of adding headers to arbitrary source code. The intention is to add license and copyright headers, but the reality is that these headers can say anything. It is discussing generic techniques for doing this.


It is advice for how to add headers to source files, not legal advice. This is a generic concept and the headers could literally say anything. They just happen to be license and copyright notices, since that is what he needs them to be. It is easier than opening each file in a text editor to manually add the header.
