    Cool, now you can pay an attorney $500/hr for them to prompt Astra for 30 minutes, and bill you like they spent the normal 8 hours on the case.

      That is an ethics violation. Even in the pre-AI era, getting caught billing for hours not worked was seriously punished.

        "7.5 hours - reviewing output"

          Sure, if they actually spent 7.5 hours, and it was a reasonable amount of time. If not, perhaps it would be seen as evidence of incompetence.

          In the real world, lawyers submit detailed bills and their clients examine them. If you don’t, that’s on you.
