“Workers in affected fields can adapt by developing skills that complement AI capabilities rather than compete with them. This includes learning to work alongside AI systems, developing expertise in AI tool management, and focusing on tasks that require human judgment, empathy, and creative thinking.

The key to thriving in this new landscape lies in continuous learning, adaptability, and embracing the collaborative potential between human and artificial intelligence.

The future job market will likely reward those who can effectively integrate AI tools into their workflow while providing the strategic thinking, relationship building, and complex decision-making that remain uniquely human strengths.”

Of course, at the rate of AI evolution. Humans will be outdated soon.

Which way mankind?

Butlerian Jihad or extinction?

Yeah, me too; meanwhile I’m starting a side hustle as a “quiet quitting consultant”.

The problem with using AI for legal matters is.... the LLM's lie.

So you can have them compile a list of cases for you. But then you need to have a paralegal to check all the cases and see if A. They are real and B. Say what you are looking for. Also you are still going to need that paralegal to look for cases that support you position but were not necessarily about what your case is about. So your LLM of choice never sees them.

If you don't you are, as several law firms have found out, going to end up in front of a judge that is not pleased with you and egg all over your face.

Will it reduce the time your paralegal needs to work? Maybe. Some. But replace? No.

Real life. Not at all like the fantasies of some.

If AI creates kiddie porn or does something else illegal, who goes to jail?

Fair points.

AI is hard to beta test if there is a tremendous amount of data out there—like laws in a given jurisdiction.

You might have one legal case that shows up once a decade—so you would not know if AI got it wrong until then.

AI will never replace software QA engineers. It will simply become a tool to be leveraged.

Predictions and expectations:
Some companies will use “Our company gives you the option of actually speaking with a consultant.

Certain long term projects will be created and government funded to provide “jobs” for the millions of people AI will put out of work. It will be seen as a Societal and Mental Health Emergency to maintain some kind of dignified work for all these people to do. It will be somewhat similar to the work projects President Roosevelt organized after the depression.

At least for about 25 years, there will be a quota of how many humans must be employed on certain job sites.
So as to lessen the cultural shock of having one’s work week lose all meaning and most of its lucrative aspects.
