I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

using ChatGPT for legal research accuracy. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but got conflicting advice.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
