While the article keeps mashing the "AI" fear button - how would the situation be different if "AI" was replaced with old-fashioned outsourcing - to LowBidCo Legal-ish Services Inc.*, which was paying wanna-be human lawyers in Elbonia 10 cents per page, to churn out legal-sounding stuff on typewriters?

Either way, half-assed lawyers would be giving gullible/overworked judges a bunch of legal fantasies to sign off on.

A pretty damned obvious fix would be to prema-ban the responsible lawyers from the practice of law. Maybe with some "affected cases are re-opened, and ..." rules, to discourage the use of expendable idiot lawyers in higher-stakes cases?

But doing that would violate unwritten rules #1 of America's legal/"justice" system - protecting their own.
