Then you can end up like Donotpay and be in trouble for giving legal advice by a chatbot that is not a lawyer and has no obligation or directive to be correct.
What if the AI can pass the bar, such as GPT-4. When can we allow AI's to be legal experts?

I was about to comment on the trademark issue but then I saw this top comment. I think you're making a mistake with your approach of 'crossing that bridge'.

Learn from other people's mistake, don't make your own.

We actually migrated from Pinecone to Weaviate and it's been great far and I definitely recommend it. Top 2 features are: 1) the way they handle class properties is super intuitive and allows you to configure which properties to index, and 2) the cross-referencing feature which gives you relational DB like features in a vector store. Major props to Bob and the team, they've also been super helpful answering our quest…
Thanks, Jason! Very soon, the public beta of the cloud version will be live with a brand new UI, and 100% self-service hosted Weaviates
