"Multiple state bar associations have threatened us," Browder said. "One even said a referral to the district attorney's office and prosecution and prison time would be possible."
"The truth is, most people can't afford lawyers," he said. "This could've shifted the balance and allowed people to use tools like ChatGPT in the courtroom that maybe could've helped them win cases."
Cant have robot stealing jobs from lawyers, can you imagine a machine replacing you with no prospect of compensation? What kind of society does that with the threat of poverty 🤔.
you know what, that's a good point, and I can't think of good counterargument, except maybe that deprofessionalization would push them into solidarity with the unskilled working class. I will say, though, that I think defense of the professions from technological obsoletion is less critical because, as detailed in the article, they are not nearly as threatened by it. They are already more organized in bar associations against such industrial threats, so that even if some of their work could be automated, they have a force of arms against it that the labor unionist left doesn't have the resources to meaningfully contribute to anyway.
