Well, the lawyer gave interviews after his client was guilty. Bragging about how instead of spending hours on it he only spent "seconds" and that the AI would mean he could have a lot more clients and make a lot more money.
So, it's going to be pretty hard for him to now argue he put in just as much effort.
Did he help develop or train the AI? That upfront effort should perhaps be considered.
But that is like saying instead of spending hours on an essay I cut the time in half with ms word. Its just a tool. If the lawyer produced arguments with it and reviewed it then what's the issue. And tbjs still doesn't determine if the work presented was good or not.
Because he didn't review it...
He used it "as is" so he could advertise his AI tool as "does it all by itself".
It sounds like rather than advertising it as tool for lawyers, he's advertising it to clients as a replacement for lawyers.
100% that is dumb.
But in all seriousness I think we all need a pocket lawyer.
Its one of those things that I think causes a ton if inequality. I think its too early but definitely in our lives we could all have a bunch of services in our pocket that are difficult to access now. But that's not going to happen if we don't reject this stuff as idiotic.
