    The need for actual lawyers will persist I think from my own experience. I attempted drafting a contract with some points myself using AI, but after several edits I wasn't sure if it was correct. Sending it to an actual lawyer ended up in so many corrections I couldn't imagine the first time. One big thing was the overly excessive protective clauses which didn't make sense for reality or conflicted with another.

    Its just like code I suppose, if you can read and understand and validate, you can use it to scale and otherwise it could end up being a vibe effort.

      Lawyers sure. Paralegals and assistants are cooked in the way typist and secretaries were back in the day.

        Nope. Paralegals and assistants do the type of thing GP hired a lawyer for (and lawyers do, as well).

        Lawyers can practice, can represent you in court, etc. that's not going away soon.

          Lawyers have that lovely regulatory wall, for better or worse.
