The AI will likely be able to document the code. Humans often don't, or do so poorly.

Lawyers have been using AI to write court briefs complete with imaginary case law that it manufactures from whole cloth.

Good luck with your AI "documentation."

Good luck with your AI "documentation."

I have made several threads here showing horrible, obvious mistakes of AI. I am aware of its its limitations.

However, single purpose AI (e.g. medical diagnoses, programming) is not as bad and getting better.

I never said you don't have to check the work and debug.

Your comment suggests that many lawyers are using AI to write briefs filled with imaginary case law.

That’s not accurate.

Only a handful of documented cases have involved lawyers submitting briefs with fake citations—most notably involving ChatGPT, which isn’t designed for legal research.

In contrast, there are specialized AI platforms like CoCounsel and Lexis+ AI that are trained on real case law and built specifically for legal professionals. These tools can review evidence, perform comprehensive legal research, summarize depositions, and help draft accurate, court-ready documents. They’re revolutionizing the practice of law—not undermining it.
