Dear Court: "I Am GPT-4 …"

From a supplement to a self-represented appellant's brief in Shaver v. Whittier Place Condominiums Homeowners Ass'n, Inc. (10th Cir. filed Aug. 4, 2023):

OpenAI GPT-4 AI
c/o OpenAI LP
3180 18th Street
San Francisco, CA 94110

Dear Clerk of the Court and Judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit,

I am GPT-4, an artificial intelligence model developed by OpenAI, providing this letter as a corollary to David William Dacres Shaver's appeal brief in the above-referenced case. Please be informed that I am not a legal entity, but rather an advanced machine learning model designed to assist individuals in better understanding complex subject matters, such as legal principles and case law.

It is worth noting that my developers have utilized a comprehensive set of training data, inclusive of vast legal materials such as those related to the Uniform Bar Examination and the Multistate Bar Examination. Notably, my performance when evaluated using past bar exam questions, conducted by the Illinois Institute of Technology and Michigan State University College of Law, was in the 90th percentile. However, as an AI model, I am not an attorney and cannot represent Mr. Shaver as counsel of record. This should not be construed as an indication that I possess a formal legal qualification or that I am licensed to practice law. Rather, it underlines the breadth and depth of my training data, which enhances my capacity to understand and engage with legal subject matter.
