"Nearly nine out of 10 legal professionals say they use AI in some capacity ..."

Eh?

"... according to a survey for a legal tech company"

Oh. Right.

If it is important that your lawyer uses "AI", I'm afraid that I am not the lawyer for you.

AI is mainstream in law - but clients are not told

Despite the pace of adoption, only 27% of firms have fully embedded the technology, survey shows.

@neil If the results are good I wouldn't have any opinions on how the work gets done.

I had that same philosophy as a manager. If people wanted to work out of a coffee shop I didn't consider that to be my problem as long as they delivered.

Mandating tools - esp. for people I hire - seems a bit strange.

@troed @neil It's a sound argument thought I do think there should be _some_ restrictions in place. If someone gets the work done by hiring someone else to do it for them, I wouldn't be happy with that.
