Like a first year associate that can do basic research that you have to double check, but it's still good to have.

i dont understand labeling it as "bragging." it's like saying people who talked about computers making office work more efficient are "bragging." it's just a tool that some people find very useful. how is that "bragging?" |

interestingly, boomers think ai is magic. |

Date: April 19th, 2026 12:04 PM Author: Misanthropic lodge headpube I believe that there are boomers who think it's magic, I can picture that being a basin of attraction in the boomersphere. But the boomers I know all reject it almost outright. The millennial midwits construct convoluted MAF screeds about it filled with all kinds of cope tells. The boomers I know either avoid AI altogether and refuse to use it. Or they use it once in a while then complain and yell about it when it gives them the "wrong answer", then brag about how they "just had to solve it myself because the AI isn't smart enough".

Date: April 19th, 2026 12:08 PM Author: vibrant community account true. but i do find boomers tend to be more receptive, paradoxically. of course there are still plenty of luddite boomers out there too.
i think the reason is millennials are much more aware of technological progress than boomers. the span of time from internet to ai is essentially our entire lives, whereas for boomers it's only like the last third. they're still figuring out how to open pdf, so something lot chatgpt is sometimes indistinguishable from sorcery to them. but yeah, you also have the luddite boomers who bitch about every new tech thing. |

Date: April 19th, 2026 12:13 PM Author: copper house It's not about being a luddite, it's all about how the "AI narrative" is just a bunch of bullshit. It's promises without delivery. AI can help you proofread a pleading, but it doesn't know what it's doing. It makes mistakes all the time. It requires you to go back through and redo work.

Date: April 19th, 2026 10:05 PM Author: Misanthropic lodge headpube lol I think its funny how when an ape makes a mistake (which is almost always) noone flinches, but when AI does "hallucination" language gets invoked (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5858366&forum_id=2Reputation#49828330) |

Date: April 19th, 2026 11:24 AM Author: copper house If that's how you're using it, I wouldn't call that bragging. What I mean by bragging is someone using AI to make a new LinkedIn post every day about using Claude to apps in python to crawl through case files and how they're implementing AI at every level of their organization and yadda yadda yadda. For me, that's not an effective pitch. Sounds to me like you're more interested in being a data scientist than you are being a lawyer. I want a lawyer.

Date: April 19th, 2026 1:26 PM Author: out-of-control pocket flask It's amazing for doing initial legal research on a subject. Often you find it's all correct and barely needs to be supplemented at all. Sometimes it has mistakes to some degree, so you're risking a malpractice lawsuit by relying on it without your own ability to doublecheck it.
Have yet to encounter outright hallucinations with the newest models, though I know others have. |

Date: April 19th, 2026 10:07 PM Author: Misanthropic lodge headpube Thats what's funny is that something like "a line from a movie I'm watching" isn't something I would ever ask it and I can't believe there are people who care about this sort of thing. Asking it "what a character meant" and I guarantee you it gives a better answer than an ape would (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5858366&forum_id=2Reputation#49828335) |

Date: April 20th, 2026 1:22 AM Author: Smoky Balding Black Woman Ticket Booth Some of the sanctions that the federal bench has been doling out for AI mistakes have been draconian, far beyond what the same issue would have gotten you 5 years ago.
The thing's inability to say idk or give a confidence level or caveats is grating on its best day and a serious problem on its worst. |

Date: April 20th, 2026 1:05 AM Author: marvelous crimson deer antler sex offender Law is one of the things AI is worst at and it's still somewhat useful. But it's great for code. You should absolutely be using it to write code for you. If you're a typical lawfag, then I guarantee there's some tedious process you still do that should be a python script.

Date: April 20th, 2026 1:19 AM Author: marvelous crimson deer antler sex offender It's because law has more faggy sophistry and internet retards writing about it.

Date: April 20th, 2026 1:33 AM Author: marvelous crimson deer antler sex offender Python is now easy to write and turing complete. Anything that can be done with a computer can be done with python. It would be quicker to write out a list of things that CAN'T be done in Python (which is isomorphic with anything that can't be done with a computer, like determine the true meaning of love or find the last digit of pi). There are some practical limitations because the tradeoff for python's power and simplicity is that it's a high level interpreted language, so low level compiled languages will generally be faster, but computer chips are so good these days that it doesn't matter, for the tasks lawfags do IRL they won't even notice the performance hit.
There must, for instance, be SOME sort of data you receive and need to understand as part of your job. You should be doing so with specialized code written in panda or polars (depending on the situation). Most lawfags are still derping around in Excel, which is the less powerful tool and they don't know how to use properly anyway. |

Date: April 20th, 2026 2:12 AM Author: Misanthropic lodge headpube Python actually has libraries just for Law. Eyecite and Juriscraper I think are two of them. Juriscraper lets you scrape opinions and oral arguments or whatever from systems like pacer. You can also use NLP libraries for doc review tasks. And then pandas for shit you'd use excel for it can handle like tens of millions of rows. Probably some outside the box uses too like using sci-kit learn ml to process judge analytics and predict if you'll win your cases. For just small tactical scripts idk what you'd use them for depends if you have a lot of annoying manual tasks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5858366&forum_id=2Reputation#49828646) |
