It'd be interesting to hear what happens when these "no attention span" kids enter professions where at-length focused reading is mandatory. Say, some parts of law, where the documentation for a case is often >1k pages, and the deadlines are real.

Next gen will probably leverage AI summarization extensively and effectively. They’ll have better tools to efficiently consume information than lawyers in the past.

Perhaps. But what's it like now, when AI's are notorious for hallucination on legal subjects?

(And obviously - if the AI's are really competent on the hard parts of legal stuff, wouldn't firing 99% of the lawyers be the reasonable strategy?)

They'll have been broken in by university, studying for the LSAT, and doing mountains of research as an intern by then. The gulf between highschool and university is growing ever wider though, that's for sure.

To judge by the article (and a number of similar ones I've seen) even the elite universities have already given up on breaking them in.

Have LSAT Prep Courses really taken up the burden?
