Comment on Ask HN: Whats your best workflows to draft legal agreements without lawyers?

Comments

I hope this is a joke, but unfortunately it might not be.

A growing number of actual practicing lawyers have got themselves into serious legal trouble by using AI to draft legal documents. You are not going to do better than them; you are going to do worse.

If it's something important, hire a lawyer (expensive) or buy a pre-written legal document that has already been written by a lawyer (cheap).

If it's something unimportant then just agree everything in email and that will be legitimate evidence if you ever need to go to court - and going to court should be your last resort anyway.

Whatever it is, "saving money" by writing a legal document yourself with or without the "help" of AI is a terrible terrible idea.
