"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.

@neil If you’ve ever used Google Translate for work, wouldn’t you have to answer Yes to that question?

@cyberleagle I haven't seen how the survey defined "AI". I use Bayesian spam filtering, but wouldn't consider that "AI" in the sense likely intended here.

@neil @cyberleagle they probably didn't, so even spell check might count. Expect non-geeks to answer as if they'd specified LLMs

@falken

tbf many translation services are now using LLMs since a year or so, without making the switch clear to the user.
