Alarming concept expressed by James Manyika, a SVP at Google, talking with Scott Pelly on 60 MINUTES. Could Hemingway write a better short story? Maybe. But Bard can write a million before Hemingway could finish one. Imagine that level of automation across the economy. For someone who’s blogged for twenty years and owns a company that provides a publishing platform for legal professionals to self publish – on blogs – this could feel like the end of the world.

The information you need is publicly available but accessing it is often tedious & inefficient, requiring you to wade through dozens of PTO websites or for-free tools to gather what you need. Plus, it frequently occurs late in the game, leaving professionals under pressure, sifting through chaotic 100-page PDFs, and frustrated with poorly formatted information & patent numbers.
