There are far too few careful studies of the progress of AI in key professions and fields that may be most impacted Example: there are only a couple of good controlled studies on lawyers working with AI, the most recent used (now obsolete) o1-preview & even that had big effects. https://t.co/JwTqNUOhqU
How People Are Using AI For Legal Research
In 2025, clients draft contracts with Grok Deep Research and law firms deploy Harvey Workflows, while courts scrutinize AI-generated citations after incidents of fabricated references. Users report 15-minute drafting that would have cost ~$2,000; firms explore workflow builders and new pricing; controlled studies using o1-preview report effects but remain scarce. The near-term pattern is AI-drafted documents reviewed by counsel and increased in-house use, with risk concentrated in citation verification.

One of the hot new things in law is having to ask lawyers if their citations are even real. Lawyers are preparing cases with LLMs that just invent references, and judges are not happy. https://t.co/62kAjSgVKR
