As a trainee lawyer, I am concerned that I am missing out on my own development and learning by using AI. I feel almost robotic in a lot of the work I’m doing. That said, I can’t afford to not use the tool because I’ll be too slow if I don’t use it. It is hard to say what will happen, but if all of the next generation is to use AI, then the industry will change and the general competences of the new gen of lawyers will be different to that of the old.

One mental frame to look at this is that - it’s possible that lawyers of tomorrow having grown up with AI, have the bandwidth to develop other skills that traditional lawyers of today. The current generation too has lost some skills thag the lawyers of the past had - we have powerful research tools at our disposal that we don’t read up as much in the process of research as our predecessors who relied on physical books and paperwork did.
