AI is OK for marketing. It can spit out an article on a recent case OK. But it's obviously generic and doesn't provide any insight.

Equally true in tax! There are the "facts basis" which then give rise to interpretation within the confines of the Income Tax Act. Judging, when making an argument as to which case has the best scope from a set of cases heard and adjudicated? Mmmm....that takes practice, experience, the ability to distinguish one fact pattern from another and one interpretation by any given court from another's view.
This is non-trivial law (as opposed to that practised on TV in whichever country) at its finest...and it takes a MIND to make the evaluation, not an "intelligence".
No difference here, or, I suspect in any aspect of criminal or litigation law.
