Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
The
technology
is
there.
It’s
usable
now.
You
have
to
guard
against
hallucinations,
but
it
has
made
any
one
lawyer
immensely
more
powerful
and
productive.
You
can
generate
drafts
of
stuff
that
would
have
taken
hours,
in
minutes.
— A
Supreme
Court
practitioner,
in
anonymous
comments
given
to
the
National
Law
Journal,
concerning
the
use
of
generative
artificial
intelligence
tools
in
their
legal
practice.
The
SCOTUS
advocate
went
on
to
note
that
AI
can
now
perform
most
tasks
that
are
typically
assigned
to
associates,
but
cautioned,
“It’s
like
having
a
brilliant
associate
who’s
also
a
schizophrenic.
It’s
bad
for
the
associates
because
we
will
need
fewer
of
them.”
