I agree. But, we will need a lot fewer of them. My small company called our lawyer a lot more before the advent of AI. Mostly to clarify a few things or review simpler contracts. Now, for simple things, we do not call them at all.
Their work will get cheaper so it will become more accessible for people, increasing demand over all would be my guess to some degree at least.
