    AI in the legal field could be useful for assisting an actual legal professional in compiling precedent based against on-the-books laws, so long as it cites sources and they verify them.

    In the medical field, it could be useful for spotting anomalies between multiple images such as X-rays or cross-referencing medical documents WHEN USED BY A PROFESSIONAL.

    But the thing is, it should be a tool - carefully used - to enhance the existing profession, not replace actual professionals.

      except in practice, the “professionals” just take the LLM’s word as unassailable and disengage their brains. funny that, the gap between theory and reality
