I am a lawyer and would not encourage my kids to go to law school. I think the future for lawyers is bleak. AI is not there yet but it’s coming for the legal profession soon.

Good point. Laying the foundation for admission will probably include the data showing when/where/how/what photo was taken and with what device.

Registered entities cannot represent themselves and have to be represented by counsel. Representing another entity without a law license is the unauthorized practice of law. Many US Congress people at the state and national level are lawyers, and I don't see this requirement changing.

Maybe AI can teach you the proper use of “affect” vs “effect”

All top tech companies are replacing lawyers with ai

Oh shut up about this fantasy, nonexistent “top 1%” of lawyers.” What is your obsession with that?

AI will not effect the top 1 percent of lawyers. The rest are toast.

Lawyers and contractors are billing experts many of whom are mediocre at their jobs and only survive because they take advantage of people in need.

This.
I would take an A.I. Lawyer any day over any attorney that isn't in the top 1%.

I mean good luck with that. I've seen people post AI's "legal advice" on line. Often it's technically wrong, but even when it's 90% technically correct, the strategy was all wrong. But sure, go save some money and see how it goes!

There it is.

What about expert witness outfits that charge a bazillion dollars to prepare a fancy report? Easy to imagine them having to switch up business models or trimming underlings

Fine dining cooking yes…but there are fry making and other single use cooking robots being used as we speak in fast food and fast casual restaurants.

The issue with those places isn’t saving money (though they do hope to save some)…it’s just finding employees and the constant turnover.

Are we defining AI as anything automated? Is mail merge AI?

Put the fries in the bag.
