That already exists, databases with various legal resources and prior decisions. Been around online since the 1990s

The kind I'm envisioning would work at the level of chatgpt. Are modern ones as good as that?

I mean chatgpt isn’t even good right now. It’s great at bullshitting and making something that SOUNDS correct.

It's functionality is much better than the legal databases I've been using. I'd like to see the two married with it able to for e.g. pull up 5 most relevant cases and a small blurb highlighting the relevant decisions within those cases for any given legal issue I pose to it.

In the US, we have multiple ones. Westlaw and Lexis are the two oldest and most prominent. They were originally print services, but went digital in the mid 1990s (maybe before). Bloomberg Law is now coming into the fray. All of those are pay services used by law firms and are typically fairly expensive. There are lower cost services like Fast Case, but the search ability isn’t as good as the more expensive services.
