I’m a lawyer and can already see the writing on the wall.
I asked GPT to write an amicus brief for a case Im currently following. It did. And it cited specific (and relevant) case law and basically wrote it the entire thing without any incoherence or logical errors.
If you’re not a lawyer, let me put that into context. A decent amicus brief can take days to research and write. It’s substantive legal work.
The GPT brief wasn’t perfect and required some editing but the fact that it wrote 90% of it is absolutely mind blowing.
Not sure what to make of all this. I’m confused and a bit scared. I can’t see a scenario where many professionals (including lawyers) are made obsolete in the coming years.
