A doctor laughed at me.
He was right.
We were talking about AI and he just started laughing. I asked what was funny.
He said lawyers are finally getting a taste of what doctors have dealt with for years.
I asked him to explain.
He said for years his patients would schedule appointments and walk in already knowing what they had. WebMD had diagnosed them.
They just needed him to confirm it.
Then he looked at me and said: AI is doing to lawyers exactly what WebMD did to doctors.
We both laughed.
He's not wrong.
People walk into consultations now with an AI answer already in hand. They want the professional to rubber-stamp it.
The disclaimer hasn't changed though.
Consult a qualified professional before you act.
That advice is still worth its weight in gold.
Happy AI'ing.
