"Tech bros"? There are AI developers. If they team with some lawyers to double-check and they get good case law data -- I can guarantee you it isn't a huge jump to create a disruptive AI based on that.

Revisit these comments in about a year. The main thing that will hinder AI in the legal world is humans suing it to not be allowed. Of course, all those attorneys will use it and then proof the output. And sign their names. And appear in court with nice suits and make deals. And they won't let AI be used in court because it is not allowed. For reasons.

The excuse that it can give an inaccurate result does put people at risk, so more effort is required for accuracy. But, AI will be able to pass the Bar exam easier than beat a human at chess.

It's not funny, but sad, that people are trying to convince themselves this is more complicated than writing a novel or creating art.

RemindMe! one year

Has the machine consciousness supplanted the fleshy meat bags in the legal industry.

No -- I didn't say it would replace them. The legal system won't allow it.

I'm saying it will be used to create legal documents and win cases -- albeit with the pages printed out before they go in the courthouse.

This isn't about the acceptance, but the capabilities. If there is one group that can protect their industry it's the justice system.
