Q from BL associate about that thing
Junior lit associate at v10 went to T14. Really curious how prospective Law students are thinking about AI in terms of their decision-making.
Here’s what I mean. A year ago when I would express my anxiety about it, I would get laughed off. “ it’s slop” “ it’s awful” “ hallucinates, makes mistakes” “ time spent reviewing is more than time saved”
But now that anxiety has entered the mainstream And our conversations at lunch are now “ pretty much can do everything I can do” “ how are we gonna add value in a couple years from now when the clients/partners catch on?” “We’re fucked” etc. “ what is the thinking in hiring all these 1Ls”
On a personal note, I use LLMs for every single one of my work streams. And I’ve gotten extremely good reviews on my work, getting recognized by the group head etc. But it kills me deep inside. It’s like well wasn’t really fully my work… they’re gonna catch on that anyone can really do this.
I’m not saying I know where this all goes, because no one does. And I love litigating so I hope it just gives more people the opportunity to do this and more representation, etc..
Curious how ppl here are thinking about it in terms of decision making. Weather in terms of school choice. Loans, etc..
Hopefully, I’m not bringing bad vibes lol
And feel free to ask me anything about big Law, clerkships if I can be helpful
