&gt;<i>I don&#x27;t see why &quot;Uber for lawyers&quot; wouldn&#x27;t work.</i><p>I&#x27;d imagine for the same reason HomeJoy didn&#x27;t work. If you find a good lawyer - why bother going through the service and deal with the lawyer directly? I can see many firms adopting or licensing such a service, but I doubt it would change how clients approach them.<p>&gt;<i>I don&#x27;t see any reason why AI couldn&#x27;t potentially have super-human powers of persuasion and manipulation</i>
I&#x27;d imagine once we have this, we would have Strong AI. At that point many traditional business models would be stone dead.
