Well of course there will be a time when doing legal research without AI is unthinkable. It's the same as doing math today without a calculator, or washing clothes without a washing machine.

People do these things only because they have a reason not to (can't afford a washing machine, or learning math and need to do it manually).

I would be surprised if that time is longer than 10 years away too.
