TLDR

A post suggests AI may automate much of the routine work done by junior lawyers, consultants, bankers and advertisers. It quotes technology analyst Benedict Evans asking what happens to work at the bottom of professional-services firms, while noting that outsiders may not understand how those firms operate. The poster also says Blackstone’s Jon Gray predicted disruption for rule-based businesses and claims JPMorgan replaced proxy advisors with AI for shareholder votes.
