By skyforbes At this point AI can write a 30-page legal brief in 4 seconds and cite case law I can’t even pronounce but apparently it can’t sit next to me in court becuase
“That would be unauthorized practice of law.”
Half the attorneys I've met barely have the mental capacity to practice law lol they just show up in a suit and nobody questions anything.
Meanwhile ChatGPT says “sorry, can’t give legal advice, but here are 492 precedents from the 7th Circuit disproving your claim.” lmao
I give it 2–5 years.
EDIT:
To all those saying " bBBbBbut SoME OnE NeEdS tO Be AcCoUnTaBLe!!"
Simple solution: companies will slap an 'Al-certified' human mascot on top of an Al legal engine just to satisfy the paperwork that a 'real person' is responsible. Their entire job will be to rubber-stamp whatever the Al generates while the machine does 95% of the actual thinking and talking in and out of court.
And just like real estate agents skimming % for doing glorified hand-holding, these Al-operators will take a tiny cut, maybe 0.5-1% if the case wins cus the work is so EASY anyone with a pulse will be able to start an Al-powered legal firm.
End result? Consumers finally pays notary prices instead of lawyer-ransom prices. HUGE W for everyone (except lawyers.)
The profession that's been price-gouging for decades is about to watch its gravy train explode soon enough 😂
