Yeah it's pretty good about questions. You obviously have to go through them, but AI has created some questions that showed angles I hadn't though of before.

It's good at comparing documents, too. Medical records, depositions, etc. Finding differences/similarities in the reporting/testimony.

Then you can use the responses (and your own work) to build your own documents, then have the AI analyze the synergy for a trial//depo notebook.

I think that’s already happening to some degree.

This is how Lawyers are often dumb and extremely dumb when it comes to anything outside of their legal comfort zone.

I also think attorneys have subconsciously internalized what “attorney answers” look and sound like. So when an LLM spits out an answer that sounds like something an attorney would say, they are predisposed to believe it. The problem is that LLMs are vastly better at sounding correct than they are at being correct

I haven’t read into it much but I’d imagine there are privilege concerns about dumping sensitive records into these apps too.


Yep. There's no fricking way I'm inputting any kind of confidential client information or training it using client work product. There's too much risk there at this time.

AI (and in the past, Google) is good for when I have a broad legal concept/argument that I know isn't novel, so I can type in the general argument/issue and they'll provide the term. Then with that "proper term", I can do actual research on an actual research platform.



The problem is I feel like google from 10 years ago was way way better than current AI at doing this task. At least in my experience.

Yeah, the alphabet soup is reaching critical mass

But what people are calling “AI” is, almost without exception, actually just Large Language Models. If people kept that in mind, they would be vastly less confused and disappointed when artificial “intelligence” is anything but.
