He sits back, wry yet resigned. ‘It was at the level of a truly great KC. The best possible legal document. And all done in seconds for pennies. How can any of us compete? We can’t.’

I doubt this guy "James" knows what the level of truly great legal work is

I'm not a lawyer but I have this same gripe. Many of the things that you want to use AI to do are small things that don't actually take you very long. And if the AI can't spit out a finished work product or something very close to finished, it doesn't actually save you time and money to use it instead of just quickly banging it out yourself

You speak so forcefully and confidently about this stuff but you don't understand it at all lol. Like just chill and listen to what other people are saying and think about it before you form an opinion

for example AI was unable to do this (very simple, but annoying and time-consuming) task. shit like this makes up a mind-boggling percentage of the practice of law and what we do has to be *perfect* because the other side is going to flyspeck it to pieces

It never will be, see the comment from the poaster above about the UK FCA and how they dont do things by the book

so even if someone makes an LLM that anyone can use to do their legal work you’ll still have to pay a lawyer

Any legal analysis that it does that comes out correct is only correct because there happens to be similar enough cases in its training data

In the future there will be LLMs that are as good as lawyers but it is going to take a lot of very expensive reinforcement learning to get there

So many people speak so confidently on this stuff when they've never actually tried it themselves. Like you can just spend a couple hours with any of the leading frontier models prompting them with cases and you will understand their strengths and weaknesses and what they can and can't do. But nobody does this because they are lazy and dumb and don't really care

That is what it will take to make them equally good at lawyering (and everything else that they're capable of being good at)

I would never tell AI my coding "problem" and just expect it to write a solution unless I have a cookie cutter template of a logically identical problem-->solution for it to reference. Which is why someone like CLSG could probably use it in this way to churn inifinitely more PI cases

Here's a great example - i was doing a contract, and this smart tech founder obviously ran the contract through some legal AI and sent me a list of 50 comments. 10 of the comments were good comments, 30 of them non-issues, and 10 of them were wrong.

But the tech person didn't know what any of the comments meant or what issues were important. So I just told them more or less to fuck off.

Lawyers are always going to have a job because a human needs to actually review the contract, or at least review the AI summary, and report back to the rest of the business.

If it ever gets to the point where AI bots are negotiating against AI bots, and then AI bots are making the business decisions, etc - then lawyers are fucked - but at that point, what isn't fucked?
