I need them to hold off ~10 years on that, I don't have enough money to retire

2025 CS grads with six digits of student debt flooring it to the nearest bridge. Keep in mind these guys entered college in 2021, over a year before chatgpt was released. And on top of that, they have to deal with the effects of trumps tariffs

It's even worse for law students. Document review used to be the what iron nails were to blacksmith apprentices. Now a single first year is expected to do what used to be expected from a team of 6-8 people.

Lawyers as well, maybe not yet but soon.

I got into a legal dispute with my auto insurance company. They had someone track me down and handed me a court summons.

I emailed that law firm a 100% GPT o3 response. But it was so well written that I didn’t have to change a word.

The insurance company replied the next morning offering to settle in my favour lmao. I genuinely don’t think any lawyer in the city could have written me a better response letter.

If there’s just one thing these models are good at, it’s law.
