> I have a lawyer friend who pays $20 a month for an Anthropic system.

I have a lawyer friend who's seen a dip in clients reaching out. Turns out, they're having Claude draw up contracts.

I used Claude to help me draft some letters to negotiate severance after I was laid off. It was really useful and I did manage to get a bit extra from my former employer

We're going to be in for a really rough time as more and more stuff gets replaced by AI and it becomes harder for people to earn incomes

Soon it'll be your AI message going to an AI on their end making the severance call with no human in the loop (if it wasn't already!).

I used Claude to help me rewrite the garbage job description they had for my position, based on the work that I was actually doing.

It was so much better. I hesitate to say 10x better, but it sure felt like it.

Low end - absolutely.

High end? Not yet. Corporate contracts are getting human only oversight with us. We have tried to compare but found that the signal vs noise generated doesn't compete with our expensive legal department.

ai seems to be generating a K shaped ROI, But symmetrical. Like the rumsfeld quote: you have known knows, unknown knowns, known unknown and unknown unknowns.

If you know your use case and know AI limits, that's known knowns. The rest follows.

Or probably even moreso - reviewing contracts

I have a lawyer friend who receives Claude contracts for drafting. Oh dear, the level of bullshit they find, apparently quality is classes below vibe coding. But as long nobody checks...

Maybe they're using the free version...
