As engineers we are (rightly) very scared of AI taking our job.

If I were a lawyer I would be even more scared.

There is an infinite amount of programming to be done. There is not an infinite amount of lawyering to be done.

Both statements are false, but even if they were true, if AI can do your job, and costs 1% of you, and works 100x faster, there's no reason to pay you.
