abstract = "Despite the widespread adoption of generative transformer large language
models and the interest of the global legal community, discussions about the
models in philosophy of law mainly have been focusing on what LLMs cannot
do. In making the first steps towards a philosophical analysis of the capabilities
of AI models in the field of law, we follow the basic idea of Turing’s „imitation
game“. Proceeding from the frequently raised characterization of legal
reasoning as „artificial“, the paper identifies the undisputed minimum core of
the „artificiality“ thesis and asks to what extent it can be imitated by artificial
intelligence. To answer this question, we test the legal reasoning capabilities of
ChatGPT, the most advanced, up-to-date LLM version of artificial intelligence.
The conclusion is that in all relevant types of activities usually associated
with legal reasoning – fact-finding, interpretation, qualification, and decision
making – ChatGPT can generate outcomes as if it reasons legally.",
