On 30 November 2022, sensing artificial intelligence's (AI) capacities have become at people's fingertips more than ever. The public release of ChatGPT, based on the GPT-3.5 engine, was a pinnacle in the long-standing discussion about AI. In a short time, the media was flooded with news heralding the technological breakthrough that would revolutionise every occupation. The improved GPT-4.0 engine, released in March 2023, fitted the narrative, as the new version achieved much better results than its predecessor. The envisaged ubiquitous automatization of work, supported by generative AI, will also affect family lawyers despite many claims that seasoned attorneys, furnished with complex legal knowledge and human compassion, could never be replaced by machines. Regardless of the defensive tone, AI in family law practice and the family justice system has become a fact. Flashy industry news created an image of AI as a brand-new concept, although the first AI-based solutions were introduced in family law in the early 1990s. Many family lawyers are unaware that providing legal aid or representing clients is almost impossible without coming across automated processes, collectively defined as AI. Are we then witnessing sluggish progress, and the information about the breakthrough is intentionally distorted by blatant marketing? In the article, I will attempt to assess AI's development pace in family law by examining the existing and envisaged models of its adoption.
