Perhaps LLMs are the solution to elite overproduction?
When you get too many elites, and society doesn't have useful and rewarding places for them all, those who think they should be elites who are left out get resentful. Sometimes they try to overthrow the current elites to get their "rightful" place. This can literally lead to revolutions; it often will lead at least to social unrest.
So what I think the GP is saying is, if we've got too many people with law degrees, those that submit filing with AI hallucinations in them may get disbarred, thereby reducing the overpopulation of lawyers.
But that's just my guess. I also found the GP posting to be less than clear.
Doesn't this prove your post as wrong? You're not sure that this will get disbarred presumably because you haven't seen somebody get disbarred over it despite it occurring for years.
The problem with elite overproduction is that the credential system is broken and awards credentials to people that don't hold a certain skill. In this case, actually producing valid legal filings.
One person I spoke to used to write Quality Control reports, and now just uses ChatGPT because "It knows every part in our supply chain, just like that!"
Seems like some better warnings are in order here and there.
I only know how lawyers work from "Suits", but it looks like tedious, boring work, mainly searching for information. So an LLM (without knowing about hallucinations) probably feels like a god-send.
