As A.I. makes law firms more efficient, clients ask: 'Where's my discount?'

    My experience with lawyers is that if you need a legal document, they often have templates ready to go and will take 10 seconds to find & replace your company name into the document. I know this because they often don’t proofread it afterwards. They then charge you $1000 for that 10 seconds of work. Given that I have felt ripped off by many lawyers, I’m totally fine with that industry getting disrupted.

      I like that metaphor, because it translates well into software:

      - You have a problem.

      - Someone takes the time to fix that problem for $10k worth of coding time.

      - Now they sell 1000s of clients the same software for $99, with 0s of work.

      What's is the difference with your case?
