All you need for a bill of sale is a simple sentence saying on x date I xxx, sale vehicle xxx, with vin number xxx to xxx person. Then write the driver's license of both parties and sign. A lawyer is extreme overkill for such a simple transaction.


By the same logic, a hallucinating LLM is also overkill versus just doing the simple task yourself and not needlessly adding risk to it.

The point still remains: let's see what the LLM delivered that the user actually used. Either it's legally binding and an appropriate use, or it's not fit-for-purpose.

Equally, why not an interactive form using conditional logic? No hallucination possible. Much more simple and reliable.

If you know this, you don't need GPT.

If you don't know this, you don't have a way to assess GPT's attempts at a contract. A bill of sale is indeed simple, but there's a lot of more subtle legal issues someone might run into in life.
