Agreed. I’ll also note that certain legal domains are more jargon heavy and therefore more prone to misinterpretation than other domains. When I started as an international tax lawyer, I often failed to recognize tax terms of art and therefore made silly mistakes (which were caught by partner review! Hopefully!). There’s lots of peril in applying a layman’s interpretation of regulation heavy tax terms.
That said, based on my experience, AI can get you pretty far for more common/well discussed tax questions. Gemini 3.1 thinking is still not so great with ambiguous answers, often opting to hallucinate instead of telling you the answer is unsettled.
