In an utopian society, lawyers are an unnecessary profession. Laws should be clear and simple so the common person can be their own "lawyer". LLMs help with that goal.
Not really. Modern society is complicated, and law is a technology that is a reflection of the complexity of society.
To make an analogy: you wouldn't say that "in a utopian society, engineers are an unnecessary profession. Buildings should be clear and simple enough that a common person can be their own structural engineer," because that would mean that building technology would no longer handle a lot of the problems we expect it to handle. It wouldn't be utopia, it would be primitivism.
> LLMs help with that goal.
Not really. What they'd actually do is help them produce output they don't understand and lack the competence to evaluate.
As in translating the legalese nondeterminism into neuralese one? That does bring us closer to utopian society for sure.
