Makes me wonder how AI will influence the work of patent officers.

Perhaps it will make patent trolling a bit harder because it is easier to look up existing work and to check if an idea is obvious?

Haha, funny :)

No, it'll be like the rest of the industries that use more AI, they'll spend the same amount of effort (as little as possible) and won't validate anything, and provide worse service, not better. AIslop is everywhere, and seemingly unavoidable for companies to use more and more to cut more corners.
