Happy to see measured results that isn't breathless glazing, and I suspect this is the kind of thing happening everywhere all at once. The other thing to consider is "burnout", in quotes because I mean that the work you describe sounds kinda boring, so people would resent doing it after a while and productivity would slow right down. Automation is the solution to tedium / toil, has been long before AI.

Yeah, it's sort of odd that even here people are pushing back like it couldn't possibly be doing this, you must have misunderstood it or are overhyping it.

I come neither to praise AI nor to bury it. This is a case where the tool is useful.

The key is that this is work the attornies themselves do not want to do and which does not require their brains or expertise. It's not just "boring" but a bad use of their time.

"Sounds kinda boring" - many do say this about lawyers.
