Never let a student use ChatGPT.
Or any AI, for that matter. Check out this ChatGPT scenario:
Misclassification of Maternity Leave
Scenario A pregnant worker starts experiencing complications at 24 weeks, and is eligible for FMLA. HR starts the 12-week count incorrectly from this date and leaves no job protection after birth.
How HR Could Get It Wrong :
The 12-week entitlement is misapplied by failing to recognize that complications during pregnancy and recovery after childbirth can trigger separate blocks.
The problem is: This sounds like the employee has a right to 12 weeks FMLA for complications during pregnancy and an additional 12 for bonding and birth.
Do you think this is true at all times? Sure. If the calendar is fixed and the year changes in the middle, then she can get up to 24 weeks of leave protected (assuming that she worked at least 1250 hours before the second leave).
Can PWFA ask you to give her protected time even if she has used the 12 weeks of FMLA for pregnancy? Absolutely.
The AI response is misleading, and implies that FMLA does not cover leave taken during pregnancy. This makes a complex situation appear simple.
AI is my favorite. You can’t rely on it as an expert.
