[quote=Anonymous][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]

Depends on the data sources, use case and prompting. If you are uploading only your company info and having the model stay with in that space it is highly accurate and beneficial.[/quote]
