Wonder if the law firms are saying the same thing about software. And everyone else is about things they use. Basically the entire job market. Will you still say it's great when it is the society as a whole?

Yes. A world in which menial tasks are taken care of by computers is a wonderful idea.
The important part is that our society needs to transform around that. If all capital accrues to the owners of the AI, then we'll have a problem. If we remake society so that everyone shares in the success, that's a very different idea.
A family member works as a paralegal, and they have way more work than they can deal with. Their estate people have 70 cases per person that are mostly waiting on people to have time to work on them. Speeding this up can mean more billable hours quicker, depending on how the speedup works, and then they can just take on more cases.
Not good for the law firms, but great for the rest of us!

same amount of work, more capability per person. More competition, lower wages
I want to minimize billable hours, yes. Lawyers are insanely expensive, to the point of being inaccessible to most.
