Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schneiders, E., Seabrooke, T., Krook, J., Hyde, R., Leesakul, N., Clos, J., & E Fischer, J. (2025, April). Objection Overruled! Lay People can Distinguish Large Language Models from Lawyers, but still Favour Advice from an LLM. Presented at CHI 2025: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Yokohama, Japan

Large Language Models (LLMs) are seemingly infiltrating every domain, and the legal context is no exception. In this paper, we present the results of three experiments (total N = 288) that investigated lay people’s willingness to act upon, and their... Read More about Objection Overruled! Lay People can Distinguish Large Language Models from Lawyers, but still Favour Advice from an LLM.
