If you want human connection the legal system is not where you are going to find it, period.

I don't think there will be any such market for "non ai" law. If I'm involved with the legal system I just want out as quick as possible as cheap as possible.

Bad legal advice will keep you dealing with the legal system for much longer and at much greater cost. Something being cheap and quick upfront doesn't mean it will be cheap and quick by the end of the process.

But isn’t this study saying that the legal advice could actually be better with AI?

A bit of extrapolation from the study, but not a crazy stretch.

Maybe, although I would be extremely hesitant to extrapolate from this one study and trust my legal life to an LLM. One thing that's worth noting, though, is that regardless of the quality of objective legal advice in the abstract, for a lot of smaller scale stuff the human connection actually is literally what is important. There are ambiguities in the law, which are not resolved deterministically but rather at the individual discretion of judges. Your lawyer, if they're any good at their job, knows the local judges and how they're likely to rule for given circumstances, which can influence their legal advice to you specifically.

Fair.

But I could also see a world where that, too, is fed to models for hyper-local results.

Could be a way off, but I could see it.

I think you are ignoring that there are bad lawyers and they give bad legal advice too

Even the good ones will not step above and beyond what they are paid to do

but an AI ? it will and can go above and beyond
