By its very nature, the field of law is ideally suited for AI language models. Fundamentally, everything is based on interconnected texts. I believe that even larger waves of layoffs could loom here than in the IT sector. However, it is likely that a more powerful lobby will be at work here—one that will grossly inflate the perceived value of their work and shield it from outside intrusion.
He who makes the rules…..makes the rules.
As a lawyer, I think your intuition is right re llms. Law is the wordplay that llms thrive at.
However the waves are starting and they ARE going to be huge. Corporate clients are insisting on AI. They don’t want to pay an associate hours to draft anything to be reviewed by a partner. They want top partner to use AI and just proofread.
