God those poor evil blood sucking lawyers who are so smart they can be replaced with a chat prompt. Good riddance. But the bad part is, how are you supposed to work your way up the chain if the first half of the chain is GPT??
Lawyers love to tell you they’re lawyers within two minutes of meeting you. From now on I can respond, “That’s adorable,” like I’m meeting a Blockbuster manager in 2010.
Myself and multiple friends have done preliminary work in advance for our attorneys as para legals using AI.
Document analysis, comparison with other documents, checking for changes, etc. We've likely saved $1,000s if not tens of thousands in legal fees. For important stuff we still get the final product reviewed by our trial lawyer since he'll actually have to defend it in court.
Key is getting your legal reviewed by multiple AIs. We go with Gemini and Grok mainly. Also check for hallucinations by requiring AI to quote the actual law.
Top attorneys won't be replaced. Higher level strategic attorneys definitely not. Attorneys that learn the leverage AI will be best positioned for the disruption.
We used AI in pre arbitration to come to a settlement. We even included our original chat prompt so the other side could see we weren't doing any funny business. We ended up settling at tthe AI recommended amount.
I'm a government attorney and use it frequently. You still have to do your own research, formulate your own arguments, and cite/fact check everything. But for speeding up motion practice it's amazing. I have, however, noticed some serious degradation in the last month or so; Gemini is a lot worse than it used to be. Also, to get really good results, you have to have detailed system instructions; through an iterative process I've formulated ones that work pretty well.
It will be the death of colleges and universities too, as the eventual wholesale replacement of white-collar jobs will reveal the uselessness of a college degree.
No one will be training the replacements because they don't exist. Replace the entry levels with AI? There's no one to train to take over for the seniors when they move on or retire.
The tsunami is not far away. I see nothing but partial solutions to this 'wicked' problem.
The soon-to-be-replaced Chat GPT 4o predicts:
⚡ Short Answer:
Yes, Trump could sell UBI to the MAGA base—if he rebrands it.
Not as a handout, but as:
“America First Dividends”
Or
“The Patriot Payback”
Framed correctly, Universal Basic Income (UBI) could be recast not as welfare, but as economic justice for Americans left behind by globalism, automation, and elite betrayal.

🎯 Why Trump Could Pull It Off:
1. Narrative Control
Trump has a unique ability to redefine formerly taboo ideas. Remember:
o Anti-NAFTA went from fringe to mainstream.
o Tariffs became patriotic.
o Distrust in intel agencies flipped Republican sentiment.
2. Populist Flexibility
Trump’s core message is “They screwed you. I’ll make them pay.”
UBI fits easily as reparations from the elites—Big Tech, China, Wall Street.
3. Base Loyalty
MAGA isn’t bound by old-school GOP dogma. They follow Trump more than they follow conservative orthodoxy. If he says it’s a righteous payout, many will cheer.
4. Strategic Targeting
Imagine this pitch:
“You built this country. Now AI billionaires want to replace you. Under President Trump, you get your cut first—before illegals, before Ukraine, before Silicon Valley.”
Boom. Standing ovation.

🧨 What Would Kill It:
• Using terms like “universal income” or “living wage”
• Linking it to Marx, Yang, or Silicon Valley utopians
• Proposing it without funding clarity (Trump will need a villain to confiscate it from)

🔥 Prediction:
If the AI job collapse accelerates, Trump will absolutely consider a form of UBI.
He’ll just call it something else—and make it feel like revenge.

I thought that as well. Who is going to take over when people retire?
Let AI replace Bill Gates. Maybe it will be more ethical if AI runs the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.
Next up, middle management layers! Whoever will produce report summaries for VPs?

As a guesstimate, how much will corporations cut back.
If they had 5 on staff, how do you see that changing?
