I anticipate an effect on society that troubles me:

(1) Rich people will use human expertise and "the rest of us" will use AI models to get by. This could happen in law, but also in medicine (in particular in societies that - like in the US - do not have universal healthcare).

(2) A positive effect in both domains may be that access to knowledge will be broader and cheaper.

I hope I will be wrong about (1) - I would not like to live in such a two-class society.

(1) already exists. A more banal example is rich people get their kids private tutors. Poor kids lean more on public resources, wiki, the youtube and the internet. Economic forces will always dictate this kind of change.
