&gt; I don&#x27;t see why &quot;Uber for lawyers&quot; wouldn&#x27;t work.<p>Primarily because people generally <i>want</i> to choose and talk to their attorney. It&#x27;s basically the opposite of taxis, where people didn&#x27;t care who the driver was and (generally) preferred minimal interaction.<p>For Uber, not having to interact with your driver or choose them is a benefit. In law, it would be a detriment.<p>That&#x27;s why I think the future isn&#x27;t a monolithic application where you interact with a faceless half-human, half-AI lawyer. It&#x27;s small individual attorneys accomplishing a lot more without needing expensive support staff thanks to AI.<p>&gt; complete automation of civil and criminal law by (I&#x27;d guess) the end of the century.<p>Okay, sure. In the longer term, every profession will be automated though.
