most lawyers haven't tried fable and astra ultrafast yet.

those who did are rather convinced it's over, for juniors at least.

If it's [or remains] allowed in. The judicial branch is well able to just outlaw it on grounds of safety, trust and reliability. Same for financial auditing, public notaries, ombudspeople, and the likes (i.e. some degree of responsibility to the public, or dual responsibility to the public and a customer/client.)

Where are you finding lawyers that will indemnify any work they produce?

Next you will be telling me economists are also liable for mistakes in their predictions or modeling.

No, liability for duty of care, not for outcomes. If a lawyer gives you legal advice, you can absolutely go after them if that advice was incorrect or made up. They carry a lot of insurance for a reason.
