Lawyers are like chartered engineers. It's not that you cannot do it for yourself, it's that using them confers certain instances of "insurance" against risk in the outcome.
Where does an AI get chartered status, admitted to the bar, and insurance cover?
- mmooss 2y agoI don't think anyone who is an experienced lawyer can do it themselves, except very simple tasks.

- ggm 2y ago"Do it for yourself" means self-rep in court, and not pay a lawyer. Not, legals doing AI for themselves. They already do use AI for various non stupid things but the ones who don't check it, pay the price when hallucinations are outed by the other side.
