It sucks at law. It's a barely better version of Google for finding relevant sources to start from. |

Date: January 23rd, 2026 9:36 PM Author: scarlet new version I don't know any shitigator who works on complicated things who thinks that AI is good at the law. It's quicker than Boolean searching when you're looking for cases that support common principles, but you're not going to win any complicated case by quickly finding the summary judgment standard.

Date: January 23rd, 2026 10:06 PM Author: Peach dilemma community account My firm has LexisNexis with Protege (their AI). I echo epah’s thoughts on AI. It’s somewhat helpful with research. But it does make mistakes and I do end up having to use Boolean searches and/or reading its cites to find better cases. It’s made my research maybe 10-20 percent more efficient. It’s useless for drafting. It’s far easier to work with the classic templates in Lexus or westlaw if you’re looking to draft something you’ve never done before or that’s not in your firm’s network.
The most impressive tool I’ve used is Note LM for summarizing depo transcripts. That actually cut my review time by like 75%. |

Date: January 23rd, 2026 10:11 PM Author: soul-stirring travel guidebook I'm not even talking about the research. The drafting, the formatting, the bluebooking etc make shitlaw a breeze.

But a 10,000% increase in the number of resumes sent in to each opening isn't really good for anything, and I can 100% guarantee you that if you ask actual doctors, they'll tell you that AI health advice is shit.

Date: January 23rd, 2026 10:26 PM Author: garnet exciting athletic conference french chef AI is incredible. NotebookLM is a fantastic tool, I use it any time I am dealing with a large document of group of documents, which is all the fucking time The recording/transcribing AI tools are great too For research I agree it’s like a better Google, but I think it’s significantly better because the result is directly responsive to your question (even if it can be wrong). With Google, I get a million blogs from lawyers in other states, sponsored results, etc that I then have to sift through Agree it is not better (and is actually way worse) than simply getting a good template from Practical Law At a very high level, AI is at its best when you provide it a large amount of input and seek a low amount of output (like using Notebook LM to quickly tell you if a particular clause is in a document, summarize a depo, etc).

We've discussed this here. It's capped at 300 documents. Is that a lot of documents to you? |
