re: Who here still thinks AI is garbage and worthless and won't take jobs?

We've been using it all year. Nobody is in danger of being let go. But we also haven't hired anyone either. But we didnt hire anyone the 4 years before that as well.
It's a tool. Certain jobs that never should have been there in the first place will be in trouble. It will create some new jobs as well. Its not worth the sky screaming that people on social media and in the media do abt it, however. People just like to yell abt something to sound important and in vogue

It is in its infancy, this is the worst version we will see, It will take jobs. If a large law firm needs 5 junior attorneys to do research and briefs, the firm will eventually get to the point it only needs one or two to double check the work of AI.
Good, lawyers suck and there are way too many of them today

You honestly believe that?
What's the net gain/loss?
What's a solid number? Is 10% job loss good or bad for the country?

"Associates" are to large firms what paralegals are to everything else. I don't disagree that larger firms are going to cut back on associates, but the reality is that "low level associates at big law firms" is, what, high single digits as far as the legal profession? So cut them in half, watch them all go to smaller firms where they can litigate immediately instead of spending a few years in the bullpen, and nothing has really changed, outside of the big law balance sheet.
This isn't something that's going to just effect big law.
Firms up and down the range are going to see less need to hire new associates and eventually clients are going to prefer firms that are open about passing the "AI savings" onto the customer in the form of lower bills.
I already know a few partners at small/midsize firms that plan on hiring fewer associates that they normally would given their workload because current AI tools are good enough now that they can get a better return on investing in AI tools vs hiring a new law grad.

Increased productivity has always yielded more jobs, economic growth, and eventually general improvement of living conditions. Like every other major technological shift their will be pain along the way, winners and losers. But history tells me this isnt likely to be a net loss of jobs long term. Perhaps this time is different but I doubt it.

Won't someone please think of the candle lighters. This newfangled electric lightbulb is going to put them all out of jobs.

How long do you plan on starting the same thread once every week?

We’re pacing for 65% growth with about a 5% reduction in overhead for 2026. AI accelerated our company by 5 years in the span of one month of integration.

You don’t need to be worried about AI taking your job or your customers. You need to be concerned about someone who knows how to leverage AI taking your job, or a competitor using AI to provide something to your customers more efficiently than you can.

Lawyers are so dispensable. One of biggest scams in history.

You mean like Iphones, which will 100% lead us into a civil war in a few years.
Hey, at least you can send an email and take a photo from anywhere!

As a managing partner, are you more inclined to pay a few grand a year for AI tools, or invest several hundred grand into a fresh associate who you have to train (and there's significant risk that they leave your firm for another once they've been trained up enough to be actually valuable to your firm).
The level of AI usage to replace an associate isn’t a couple of grand is a problem, especially if AI companies continue to move towards this token model.
Running Claude past the Haiku model, which you need to actually generate good work, can cost up to hundreds of dollars per prompt, and it can take several iterations of a prompt to get what you are looking for.
Look at some of what these companies are spending on their company wide AI rollout, it’s crazy.
Anecdotal, but our company rolled out and pushed the hell out of Claude, and within weeks we’re like “never mind, please be very careful, this shite is crazy expensive.”

At first I was reticent to use the AI but these days I find it to be very useful. I like to use it as an advanced internet search tool. Instead of having to peruse thru voluminous search results, the AI is able to provide a consolidated answer and links to the sources. It's been helpful to me recently.
And if that’s how you’re using it now, you haven’t even begun to unlock its potential in its current state. It’s powerful, and no one should resist it. Being able to use it is what will set you apart going forward.

Is legal research/analysis/drafting really that token hungry? Maybe I'm wrong but I'd imagine it's at the lower end of the scale vs more STEM applications.
