- streetcat1 7y agoI am afraid that this does not apply to intellectual work since the marginal cost of new AI is 0. Hence, in theory, any new work given to lawyer, will be soon covered by more AI models. Another effect of deploying AI, is that once a model learn something, ALL the other models become better - this does not occur in nature. I.e. once a human doctor fix a mistake other doctor can repeat this mistake. However, once an AI doctor fix a mistake, all the other AI doctors learn from this mistake.
- dllthomas 7y agoThe context was (explicitly) not AGI that can fully replace lawyers, but AI technologies that make human lawyers more effective. In that setting, the Jevons paradox would still seem to apply (until we actually saturate demand for anything human lawyers can do).
