While the thought of lawyers lawyering with AI gives me the icks, I also understand that at a certain point it may play out like the self-driving car argument: once the AI is good enough, it will be better than the average human – since I think it’s obvious to everyone that human lawyers make plenty of mistakes. So if you knew the average lawyer made 3.6 mistakes per case and the AI only made 1.2, it’s still a net gain. On the other hand tho, this could lead to complacency that drives even more injustice.
Yeah, I don’t care about the raw amount of mistakes, I care whether the mistakes are severe enough to throw the case. Stuff like missing filing deadlines.
