A junior asked me why we still need senior attorneys if the software can find the cases and write the memos. I opened my mouth to answer and stopped, because the easy parts really are gone. What's left is the judgment call no tool will sign its name to, and the oath I took that a machine never took, and I'm just starting to feel the weight of that being the whole job now.
More people experience this than they realize.
As tools take over the easy work, you're realizing your judgment and your oath are what's left.
