AI-Generated Legal Docs: Punch-up the Style, Please

Many lawyers experimenting with AI writing tools are looking for a bit more style in the prose, according to Law.com.

“While the accuracy rate of AI drafting tools that can help lawyers churn out documents such as pleadings, briefs or discovery requests and responses is steadily improving, getting those finished products to align with the varying standards of an array of law firms and attorneys may still be an ongoing process,” observes Law.com writer Frank Ready.

Fortunately, that kind of personalization – adding a lawyer’s own voice to the writing style of an AI document generator – is possible with specialized training.

In practice, that translates into feeding the AI-generated writing software a fair amount of documents written in the style you prefer.

Specifically, Koponen says newsrooms need to embrace some of the same tools being used by fake news – including robot journalism, gamification and augmented reality – to fight warped narratives.
