This is actually pretty disappointing. I'm in law and AI's effect has been pretty minimal; I had hoped (assumed?) that the medical sector was doing better with it.

seems like we're all going to be doing a kind of doc review, basically just reviewing AI product all day long to make sure it's ok. costs should go down, which will create a push for volume. so we'll be doing more mundane work for longer hours and less money. legal assistants are done here.
On the increased-volume front, the most obvious change so far has been the huge uptick in pro se litigation that's clearly creating more lawyer work (i.e., these are cases that would not have been brought at all previously).
