... using ChatGPT is so much cheaper than hiring a staff of legal research assistants.

I'm not a lawyer and I don't play one on TV, but there has been talk in the last several years about who will lose their high-paid jobs to automation in the near future. I've even posted it on DU from time to time. Example: Some truck drivers and delivery personnel will lose their jobs to self-driving vehicles, and that's already happening.

One of the shocking predictions is that researchers in the legal field, law clerks for example, will be replaced by automation (computers and bots that do the same work.) Using ChatGPT and other aps is the first baby-step towards giving up the human interface. In another 10 years the law field won't consider doing research without automation of some kind.
