Stanford Study Finds AI Beats Law Professors 75% Of The Time

Quotes:
A blind study led by Stanford Law School professor Julian Nyarko
published Monday found AI-generated responses outperformed those
written by fellow law professors in 75% of nearly 3,000 head-to-head
comparisons—a result the authors themselves called surprising.
Contract law was chosen precisely because it resists the answer key.
The 40 questions used in the study—the kind a student might raise
after class or in office hours—demanded synthesis of competing
arguments and a defensible conclusion rather than rote recall, testing
whether a model could reason where there is no single right answer.

The legal profession is another profession that is going to be
overwhelmed by AI tech.
