Could be worse. Lawyers go to the law library for precedents. I'm still cringing over the lawyer who cited cases in court to the judge, cases that did not exist, because he used AI. Luckily for justice, the judge knew better.
I think I remember reading about that. Good thing the judge knew their stuff.
