One last economic stimulus for startup lawyers before getting replaced by Mistral + RAG + your jurisdiction's .txt files and PDFs :D
- dragonwriter 2y agoMistral (or even Mixtral) + RAG + txt/pdf files of law is nowhere close to usable to replace lawyers, and probably wouldn’t even provide reliable legal tooling. (A decent LLM + RAG + LexisNexis or Westlaw’s proprietary extremely extensively human annotated datasets of constutitons, statutes, case law, precedent, and scholarship, OTOH, would likely be ingredients from which a powerful professional tool could be built.)
- _akhe 2y agoIt was said in jest, but you went a little overboard with: > wouldn’t even provide reliable legal tooling. There are already funded companies and even hobbyists in Discords I'm in doing this with RAG, also patient medical docs, etc. it's really great for that use case of specific document data like laws or a patient's medical history. Here are some AI assistants that I created that can interpret law, examine medical docs, help you buy shampoo, or even give you price and parts comparisons at your local auto parts store: https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/tree/master/examples/instant-assistant https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/tree/master/e... I say said in jest because (and this is counter to your second point) it very likely will not replace lawyers, but become tooling for lawyers.
