Supporting context
The article argues that much of what businesses pay for in routine legal work is template recycling rather than bespoke expertise, using a plagiarism-checker comparison of a $650 NDA against a $39 LegalZoom template as evidence. Kamil Banc frames AI not as a lawyer replacement but as a tool for distinguishing when clients are paying for genuine expertise versus copy-paste work. The practitioner application centers on a battle-tested prompt that generates NDAs suitable for standard business situations in seconds. The author acknowledges lawyers are right that every comma matters legally, but contends the business cost of debating semicolons outweighs the benefit for boilerplate documents. Readers are advised to evaluate whether they still need legal counsel on retainer for routine agreements.
