I recognize AI’s speed and efficiency, but there is a benefit in slugging through the process on our own.

The process, the journey, helps us think through the issue.

Sure, I can feed witness statements into AI to synthesize what they said, but watching or reading the statements is how I will get to know the witness. AI can’t try a case to a jury. I need the process of preparation to be game ready.

We ought not be in a hurry in processing information or thinking through an issue.

The American Dream belongs to all of us. — Kamala Harris
