[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This might be crazy talk but with AI taking jobs I think work is going to dry up and stocks are going to soar as companies become more profitable.  I don’t even know what jobs will be available in the near or long term and I’m starting to think seriously about living off investments and planning for my kids to do the same.  I’m a lawyer and lawyers are cooked with AI.[/quote]

Not all lawyers are cooked. Bad transactional lawyers, low quality services are, low level drafting lawyers are, but there will always be a need for courtroom lawyers, and highly skilled/consulting lawyers.

Having said that, I’m also thinking hard about how to support them both financially and in the future. [/quote]

For corporate law I’m pretty sure AI is going to be able to do first drafts of SEC filings, various agreements, etc.  AI will also be able to do case law research and first drafts of briefs, etc.  It’s really insane and sad to me but I think my profession will be machines in the not too distant future. I think most white collar jobs will suffer a similar fate. I feel so bad for young people starting out.[/quote]

Agree. But that won’t end law as a profession, just change it. Just like it did when research moved from the law library to online. [/quote]
