[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in IT at a well-known law firm, and the law firm is going into AI 100%.  It launched a Proof of Concept last year using AI to reduce the number of junior lawyers in the firm.  The POC went so well that the firm recently laid off over 50% of the junior lawyers on staff.  The speed of AI in the next two years will be much more damaging than people think.  All of us should be worried.[/quote]

So there won't be enough mid or senior level lawyers to fix things when it really messes up right?[/quote]

This can't be true. The legal news would be exploding. Remember "lathaming"?

Why people lie is beyond me. It's either not true or it's a no name firm[/quote]

If anything, we're seeing reported news of examples of lawyers using AI and getting burned when their work is revealed as garbage.

https://www.npr.org/2025/07/10/nx-s1-5463512/ai-courts-lawyers-mypillow-fines ("A federal judge ordered two attorneys representing MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell in a Colorado defamation case to pay $3,000 each after they used artificial intelligence to prepare a court filing filled with a host of mistakes and citations of cases that didn't exist.")

https://futurism.com/law-firms-fine-ai-slop-court ("the court filing in question was a brief for a civil lawsuit against the insurance giant State Farm. After its submission, a review of the brief found that it contained 'bogus AI-generated research' that led to the inclusion of 'numerous false, inaccurate, and misleading legal citations and quotations,' as judge Michael Wilner wrote in a scathing ruling . . . A lawyer at one of the firms involved with the ten-page brief, the Ellis George group, used Google's Gemini and a few other law-specific AI tools to draft an initial outline. That outline included many errors, but was passed along to the next law firm, K&L Gates, without any corrections. Incredibly, the second firm also failed to notice and correct the fabrications.").

+1 I find AI to be so, so bad. If you care about accuracy, it really is no better than a random blog. Some of my colleagues use it and they do check everything but I honestly don't see the point.[/quote]
