This is amazing! I've been hearing about AI and the reaches of its capability a lot lately. They say AI will replace all our jobs, except perhaps the most creative industries, and maybe even that.
They say some of the easiest jobs to replace are some of our highest paying jobs today: doctors, accountants, and as you imply with your write up here, Lawyers.
These jobs are complicated, but really the complication breaks down into many small easy steps, which computers are MUCH better at then we are.
General AI is coming, and that means computers that can learn to do anything, cook, clean, medical services, teach, etc, etc, etc.
People say robots are coming for all our jobs. Its potentially a very serious problem for our economy. Self-driving cars for instance can immediately remove 30% of all jobs in the USA, because 30% of all jobs in the US involve delivery, which requires people... for now.
I learned a lot on this topic from this guy, check his video out if you want to hear more about this:
