"Blueberry is normally the mature and smartest girl in the group. She is knowledgeable about almost everything. She spends so much time with books that she always knows exactly what others need, or where the specific topic they need will be located in her bookstore, Blueberry Books. She is a whole lot of knowledge and very well-mannered, which can confuse her friends since they struggle to understand her in some way. With her acute wit and flair for more than just average knowledge, Blueberry is a genius when it comes to organization, making plans, maps, and schedules, as long as it is not overly sophisticated." blueberry is autistic, confirmed

Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.
For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.
