Reply to comment by ActuaryGlittering16 in If you believe you can think exponentially, you might be wrong. Transformative AI is here, and it is going to radically change the world before the Singularity, and before AGI. by AdditionalPizza

Your statement doesn’t make sense to me. That might be true for every person born before 1980.

Also, if you’re in a car wreck and talking to insurance, you won’t even tell that it’s just an AI talking to you, so you won’t care.

That’s fine. That’s still billions of people who will want to deal with human lawyers.

If you’re in a car wreck and the insurance company offers you $50K for $300K worth of damage are you just going to call an AI out of the blue? Who will operate the AI law firm? Who will be licensed to help you?

I agree that in time everything will be automated away but the comment I initially responded to argues this is happening to attorneys in a few years. No way in hell. Try 15-20 years.

True. But I still think it’s largely due to regulation and lobbying that will fight tooth and nail to keep it that way.

Otherwise people would only want a human lawyer if they have a winning track record over an AI lawyer.
