AI Isn't Replacing Lawyers

It’s replacing the boring parts.

In the ‘90s, I did work experience at a law firm.
We hand-coded intranet pages using a software called Dreamweaver.
It was my first real taste of marketing, and it was slow going.

Fast forward to today:
People still worry AI will take jobs.

But AI doesn’t build client trust.
It doesn’t win cases.
It doesn’t shape strategy.

What it does is erase the repetitive stuff:

• Transcribing meeting notes into action points

• Generating routine blog drafts

• Sifting spreadsheets for insights

Just this week, I needed to split full names in a spreadsheet into two columns.
Before? I’d lose 15 minutes Googling formulas.
This time? I asked AI. Here's what it gave me for Google Sheets:

👉 First Name (in B2):
=LEFT(A2,SEARCH(" ",A2)-1)

👉 Last Name (in C2):
=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-SEARCH(" ",A2))

Done. No fiddling. No frustration.
Just flow.

I used to hit a wall with small tasks.
Now I go from execution to strategy.
From “why isn’t this working?” to “what’s the bigger move?”

This is the real shift:
Human + AI.
Lawyers get more time for deep legal work.
Marketers get more time to create.
Everyone gets more time for what actually matters.
