The select few lawyers on the right cases probably will be the only ones coming out ahead on this after the dust has settled.

The issue is that unpaid average people are being used, or rather forced, to act as QA and Beta Testers for this mad dash into the AI space. Customer Service was already a good example of negative preception by design, and AI is just being used to make it worse.

A production database being corrupted or deleted causing a company to fail sounds good on paper. But if that database breaks a bank account, healthcare record, or something life altering for a person who has nothing to do with the decision of using it the only chance they have for making it right is probably going to be the legal system.

So unless AI advancement really does force the legal system to change the only people I see coming out ahead from the mess we are starting to see is the Lawyers who actually know what they're doing and can win cases against companies that screw up in their rush to go to AI.
