Andrew C 💯 @arc315.bsky.social · 07/10/2026If they could have done it for law first, they would have. It's a far more immediately lucrative field than esoteric math problems. But just because they scooped up the lowest hanging fruit doesn't mean the rest of human endeavor will be as easy to replace with LLM outputs. 010
Andrew C 💯 @arc315.bsky.social · 07/10/2026As you say, it's been four years since ChatGPT was first released. Lawyers are *still* getting zapped for relying on the making shit up machine to not make shit up. Making shit up is literally all an LLM does. Work that requires stuff to not be made-up garbage requires a formal check. 110
Andrew C 💯 @arc315.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I always say law is probably the next most formal-ish discipline after those two and even so I don't think there will be a "Lean for law" anytime soon. Maybe ever. 210
Andrew C 💯 @arc315.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I think you are massively overselling the *quality* of current AI-generated code. In any case, the ability for genAI to do even passable work in coding and math is because the output can be formalized into code or math code (Lean), which will likely not be true for any other field of work. 280
