Yep. Let's bet the law firm on technology with a hallucinogen habit.

Oh sweet summer child. This is AI at the equivalent of a few week old baby and it's already better than most people at most things.

Wait until it can improve itself.

AI has been “improving” itself for years now, that is nothing new or marvel. Current LLM are not intelligent, they are datasets and statistical analysis. AI in its current ignorant form has been replacing mechanically inclined jobs ever since automation itself, but that is nowhere close to the fantasy setting AI that fanboys will try to swoon over and imagine.

Maybe one day, but not with what we currently have!

As one of the folks helping write the AI. Bless your heart.
