       In consideration of the (still questionable) possibility of a true "AI revolution," in which most white-collar work is replaced by AI, it seems to me that such a revolution would be no different from any other economic paradigm shift. These always involve periods of instability as we respond to the new balance but ultimately always produce greater wealth.

       The main thing that can screw this process up is government intervention, both in the form of existing policy and new policy created to address the crisis. For example, we could conceive of a not-too-distant future in which everyone has access to the legal resources currently available only to corporations, governments and the super-rich. Except that this would almost certainly run afoul of restrictions as to who can practice law.

       @mindhog They'll have to get more reliable first (which probably will happen). I've seen many mentions of AI-generated briefs that invented citations out of thin air.

       @gmcgath @mindhog A lot more reliable--at this point anyone relying on AI for law is going to get his ass handed to him pretty quickly.
