  The exorbitant price of legal services is one reason why rich people and big corporations have power that everyone else doesn't. Banning AI from giving everyone free access to it would be egregious capture.

  A New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to several licensed professions like medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, and more. The companies would be liable if the chatbots give “substantive responses” in these areas.
