Even if it worked perfectly... isn’t clerking the way future attorneys and judges are supposed to get experience?
That's the fatal flaw with AI. If you can replace the base-level workers in a skilled field, competition will lead to most places doing that. 5-10 years later, the industry has a shortage of mid-level workers.
Obviously as AI improves at clerking, it gradually works it's way up the ladder, for a while we'll have our VIBE lawyers until they can be fully replaced with full AI lawyers, and then repeat the process for judges.
The hellscape we always wanted.
