Stephen ThieleHostAnd I know we spent an enormous amount of time on this podcast talking about lawyers and the predilection to handover, frankly, what they get paid for.
This is what strikes me, and I was thinking about this episode today, is that as lawyers, you spend a lot, it's been years.
You go to law school, you article, you write the bar, you get experience in the profession.
For what? For the specialized knowledge and for hopefully that people rely on your advice and wisdom and judgment on legal matters.
And how easily and almost like, I don't even say voluntarily, but like willingly that some lawyers just are ready to swap that all over and hand it over to a computer program.
And it just is mind-boggling to me How lawyers seem to want to make themselves irrelevant by handing over their job to artificial intelligence.
Well, they're certainly taking the easy way out if they're doing it for legal research and, you know, they just want to scratch the surface at the law and not produce complete answers and actually think about a client's case.
But Unfortunately, Gavin, that's what's beginning to happen, and that's how artificial intelligence is being promoted.
Frankly, I don't see it, but that's what's happening, and lawyers are getting themselves into significant amount of trouble, as we've spoken about, and now we have in Canada the first a disciplinary decision against a lawyer who misused artificial intelligence.
