Theoretically.
The language in laws should be structured similar to code. It has some logical structure. Thus should be more easily adopted to LLMs than other 'natural language'.
So despite the early news about lawyers submitting 'fake' cases, it is only a matter of time before the legal profession is up-ended. There are a ton of paralegals, etc.. doing 'grunt' work in firms, that an LLM can do. These are considered white color, and will be gone.
It will progress in a similar fashion to coding.
It will be like having a junior partner that you have to double check, or that can do some boiler plate for you.
You can't trust completely, but you don't trust your junior devs do you, but it gets you 80% there.
- NoboruWataya 3y ago> It will progress in a similar fashion to coding. I kind of agree with this, but this is why I am confused that I only ever see people (at least on HN) talk about AI up-ending the legal profession and putting droves of lawyers out of work--I never see the same talk about the coding industry being transformed in this way.
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoI've heard it discussed. A lot more a few months ago when GPT first blew up. Maybe HN is full of coders that still think themselves 'special' and can't be replaced. Or maybe, the law profession has a lot more boilerplate than the coding profession? So legal profession has more that can be replaced? Coders will be replaced, but maybe not at same rate as paralegals.
