> “we don’t know what to do, so we’re going to throw spaghetti at the wall.
this is pretty normal, i mean you have OpenAI and Anthropic trying the same as well. OpenAI is working on legal stuff [1] and also rolled out (or said they'll roll out) ChatGPT Health [2]. Then there was Sora etc.
These companies need applications for their tokens and someone has to build them. If they can win even with one, that's a net benefit for them no?

Some context from coverage of GPT 5:

Remember when "asking for a friend" was a thing?
Today's expression is "I asked a friend". You can try that when talking to your lawyer about your latest ChatGPT — they might still believe you.

AI isn’t just for big firms. In fact smaller firms are under more pressure to be efficient. See: https://www.artificiallawyer.com/2018/07/19/casetext-and-the-need-for-…
Also many medium size law firms are using AI systems now. See: https://www.artificiallawyer.com/2018/07/03/tuesday-luminance-client-w…
And,
https://www.artificiallawyer.com/2018/06/19/israels-tadmor-levy-law-fi…
Neither of those two firms are massive, but they both still see the value.
Also AI systems are not as expensive as you may think.
P.s. I’ve worked in the legal sector for 20 years. Well aware of how billing works, and things now are changing esp. re. Any process level work. May I ask which firm you work at?
