Supreme Court chief justice warns of dangers of AI in judicial work, suggests it is “always a bad idea” to cite non-existent court cases::Mr Roberts suggested there may come a time when conducting legal research without the help of AI is ‘unthinkable’
Well of course there will be a time when doing legal research without AI is unthinkable. It’s the same as doing math today without a calculator, or washing clothes without a washing machine.
People do these things only because they have a reason not to (can’t afford a washing machine, or learning math and need to do it manually).
I would be surprised if that time is longer than 10 years away too.
