But she ''could'', just as easily, use an [[LLM]] to further ''complicate'' the documents: to overengineer, to convolute language, invent options and cover contingencies of only marginal utility: she could set her tireless symbol-processing engine to the task of ''injecting infinitesimal detail'': she could amp up the ineffability to a level beyond a normal human’s patience.  

Which of these, realistically, do we expect a self-respecting lawyer to do? [[Simplify]], or ''[[Complicated system|complicate]]''? To sacrifice time ''and'' [[ineffability]], for the betterment of her clients and the general better comprehension of the unspecialised world? Or would she plough her energy into using this magical new tool generate ''more'' convolution, ineffability, and recorded time?She would do the latter with only the best intentions, of course; this is not lily-gilding so much as a noble outreach toward perfection: using the arsenal at her disposal to reach ever closer to the Platonic form.

Cynical, or just realistic? Foretellers of Armageddon must explain away some difficult facts: that the commercial-legal industrial complex has stubbornly resisted all attempts at simplification and disintermediation for a generation, notwithstanding the thought-leadership, regulatory prompting, appeals to logic 40 years of technology — [[Microsoft Word]], mainly — which the world’s lawyers ''could'' have used, powerfully, to simplify and minimise the [[attorney legal work product|legal work product]].  

 

Why should a [[difference engine]] designed to generate plausible-sounding but meaningless text be used do anything different? You can see the effect [[Large language model|LLM]]s are having on legal work product. [[Confidentiality agreement|NDA]]s are getting longer, worse, and are being systematically riven with the same generic convolutions. These are usually fripperies, but in some cases are misconceived, but as they are recurring so frequently now, as the LLMs hone their model, they become harder and harder for the meatware to resist. The [[meatware]], remember, has limited patience with NDAs, understanding in a way that a chatbot never will how much of a pantomime they are. [[Algorithm]]s, on the other hand, have ''unlimited'' patience and ''boundless'' energy. If [[negotiation]] comes down to [[deal fatigue|who blinks first]], we should bear in mind that ''[[LLM]]s don’t blink''.
