>ai generated contracts are the future.

Man, why do you guys get paid so much? Contracts need semantic correctness, ie the verification of the logical consequences of natural language. This is an AGI determining problem. At the point this exists, humans are basically obsolete as workers, and you don't have to worry about your law firm keeping up anymore.

Let me get this straight, you're saying if AI can be a good lawyer AI can do anything humans can do?

So you're trying to say that lawyering is the hardest job in the world and only the smartest people can do it...?

I claimed that it was a task that most people can do, but is really genuinely, intelligent. I actually thought it was everyone, but then you responded with your comment.

Contracts have lots of standard clauses or near standard variations of such, and as a consequence plenty of "dumb" template based generators already exists, and you may come across contracts that have just the occasional line manually written.

At least one company already integrates or is about to (not sure if it's in production yet) LLMs in theirs to do effectively smarter completions.

It won't be fully automated any time soon, but it will certainly eat into a lot of the simpler work.
