> LLMs are the first genuinely useful legal tech since the Internet

That is an incredible statement that could not be further from the truth. Large scale adoption of email, searchable document databases like Westlaw, LexisNexis, PACER, etc.. , OCR Software, electronic signatures, and tons more have had a much more defineably positive impact on the legal profession since the internet came about.

But emphasising "tech" advancements, that really only covers OCR.

I think "email" and "westlaw" fairly count as "the Internet." LLMs might be bigger than either of those.
