How do you figure that we need more of it in this scenario ?

because what the service disrupts is inherently worthless. attorney's real power in court comes from knowing case history and being able to use precedent, it almost never comes from the logic they attempt to spin.
A good majority of them don't ply their trade to help the masses. Some do pro bono work, but the majority charge exorbitant fees for service. The tech bro service in question appears as if it is removing the legendary bloodthirst of lawyer work. And i'm sure given enough time, we would see chatgpt prosecuting attorneys and perhaps even judges. |

I'd rather a reworked justice system than more automation.

This the problem i have with the tech bro way of solving problems
We already know what the better solution is, and instead of that they'd rather over complicate it and then monetize access I'd rather just opt out of society if we're going that way , it's aggressively dystopian |

I have a feeling when push comes to shove, lots of us are secretly ready to be luddites. with our current form of capitalist oligarchy not working for the masses, anything accelerating its downfall would be welcome change

I suppose the engineer who designed the system could get a law degree, pass the bar exam and get a license to practice law. That way, nobody would be practicing law unlawfully.

AI/law clerk
potayto/potahto Doesn't matter who/what wrote it, it's the validity that matters. This is just another guild scam. |

That's what I was thinking. Probably most of the people who threatened the guy trying to sell the AI lawyer are lawyers trying to protect their livelihood.
