> most human lawyers are absolutely terrible. We review 100s of old contracts every week

I hope the irony is lost on no one that "Attention Is All You Need" was the paper that kicked the LLM boom off.

Part of the distinction between a how good one lawyer will be vs another is exactly that: attention to detail. And, as a trade, a practice, it seems like a skill that they try to hammer into the people who pursue this career (to varying degrees of success clearly).

It makes the last 20 years of leet code hiring look downright wrong. Your ability to recall what sorting algo to use, or solve some brain teaser conveys nothing about your ability to read (massive amounts) of code, and think critically about it.
